Dorset - Bardolf Farm - Birding with a Bonus!

 

The prize for a morning spent walking the fields was a Spotted Flycatcher that was spied fly-catching whilst spending short periods basking in the sun on the edge of the woodland near the Manor House!

There were several family parties of Long Tail, Blue and Great Tit in the area with juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker practicing short flights between the trees!

Blue-bordered Carpet

At the Manor House Hugo was busy processing his haul of moths which gave us a chance to catch up on news around the farm!

Poplar Grey

A couple of new moths were added to my growing tally!

I spent the early evening at Waddock Farm Cress-beds where a Red Kite drifted over heading in the general direction of Moreton!
