Listening to a few White Stork down in Shotesham, I needed to wait a few hours for Lin to return from bee upkeep earlier than we headed south. By the point we arrived and walked the sector margins across the authentic location, the chook had moved on. Lin’s telephone had no reception, so we could not examine RBA: nevertheless, simply as we have been leaving, the pager advised us the chook was ‘in a area north of the Nice Wooden’. Sadly discovering the right wooden proved tough and looking out each close by area was unproductive: I did discover a Small Heath and a Clouded Yellow in a attainable Stork location. Punch line: once I received residence I discovered that the Stork had been on the finish of the trail the place I might photographed the Clouded Yellow! (We additionally got here throughout an enormous colony of Ivy Bees: what charming, non-aggressive little creatures they’re)
