Needing some exercise, late in the afternoon, I walked around the Woodland Burial Ground. Things were very quiet on both the butterfly and bird fronts. However, as I turned a corner of the perimeter path a large familiar form flew ahead of me with a tyical bounding flight: a superb green woodpecker. Regretting not taking either binoculars or camera, I walked slowly and quietly up to where it had disappeared and was rewarded with two more close views before it flew off, it's laugh-like yaffle echoing round the site.
The few butterflies I did see included: Speckled Wood 2, Large White 1, Comma 1, Meadow Brown 1.
