Local Stuff

 Some pics from around Hurstpierpoint taken over the last few days! I've been on several local walks that haven't really been productive enough for their own post, so a few of the better pics from them below!

Possibly my best ever Butterfly in flight pics!

Some interesting behaviour in the Garden with House Sparrows flycatching. Launching themselves off the hawthorn with reckless abandon, couldn't really make out what it was they were catching


Another moulting bird, a lot of it about at the moment 






Willow Warbler, also catching insects in the Garden but less flamboyantly than the Sparrows
