Wendover & Ivinghoe

On Sunday 03/05 I joined up with David James & Simon Hales and went over to Ivinghoe Beacon & Wendover Woods in a mixture sunshine and violent showers. The sun was kind to us at Wendover and we heard several Firecrest, as well as getting incredible views of one particularly showy male.
















A walk around Ivinghoe Beacon failed to provide any hoped-for Duke of Burgundy's and our visit was then cut rather short by a colossal rain storm. Before the monsoon, we did see a few bits including a nice Holly Blue, 3-4 Green Hairstreak, a few Dingy Skipper a couple of singing Lesser Whitethroat, my first of the year.
