It was another lovely day today with sunny intervals and 15C. I was over cautious with clothing, however, and was soon far too warm. Everywhere was very wet, the 'lake' in the woodland burial ground remains and other parts of the cemetery are flooded. It is some time since I walked around The Horsefield and I have never seen it so wet. I was pleased to come across three singing chiffchaff, my first of the year and delighted to locate six singing skylark on The Horsefield; this 'waste ground' is a precious resource for animals, birds and insects and I hope that it continues to be undeveloped. I saw my first brimstone butterfly in the cemetery where the primroses are looking magnificent and found a small tortoiseshell on The Horsefield as well as three peacocks and two more peacocks in the woodland burial ground.
