Reed Warbler & Wild Herbs

A more successful day as I managed to actually make it to the site (the Long Pool at Pagham) I wanted as there was much less traffic about. The only negative is that I've pulled a muscle under my shoulder blade lugging new potatoes about, ho hum! Bird photos from today, the rest from yesterday.

Red-legged Partridge:

Reed Warblers:

Grass Vetchling (thanks to AH on the selseybirder blog for reminding me of the ID!):

Diamondback Moth, plenty, and I mean '00s if not 000s of these little moths on the farm at the moment:

These are our pictures from our stroll around the farm & lanes in Oving.



Dog Rose:

Yellow Flag Iris:

Meadowsweet, not in flower yet:

Water Mint:

Mugwort, this one had some scent so probably another artemesia gene in there somewhere:
