Amongst my 'responsibilities' is that of leading birdwatching walks for the North West Surrey RSPB Local Group. This morning, I took a small group round Bookham Common, supposedly for Nightingale and some scrub warblers. Sadly, as I mentioned in an earlier post, there appears to be only one nightingale and that didn't appear today. The warblers were all there, chiffchaff, garden warbler, blackcap and whitethroat but seeing them was another matter. Still, the ponds were good; tufted duck, moorhen, coot and these two, grey heron and little grebe.
Wandered off to Papercourt afterwards, as I tend to, in the hope of photographing reed warbler. Well that didn't happen with the warblers being illusive as ever. So Papercourt turned into more of wider wildlife experience with another roe deer photographed through a bit of vegetation, an azure blue damselfly, holly blue butterfly and an orange tip butterfly. Just to keep the bird theme going a bit, the last photo is a collared dove, taken today sitting on my neighbours television aerial (the dove, not me).
