Small Coopers at Nomans Land Common

Had a pleasant walk on Sunday with Butterfly Conservation with the main target been Small Cooper as stangly the end of sptember seems the best time for them and despite the weather been quite windy and a few rain showers a total of 37 were seen along with a couple of Red Admirals and singles of Small White and Large White.

Then after the walked headed to the Gorhambury Estate for half an hour where had a nice view of a Little Egret fishing with a few Teal and lots of Moorhen. Then heard a Snipe as it flew over and a nice end with a pair of ravens honking over.
