Early spring in Bucknell Wood

Went for a good stomp around my local patch Bucknell Wood near Silverstone today for a few hours. Real spring feel there now with over 10 Chiffchaff in song and decent numbers of butterflies on the wing with plenty of Brimstones, Peacocks and Commas, as well as my first Large White of the year. Also found my first Crab Spider lurking on a flower.

As spring like as it was, there was still a smattering of winter visitors on show with several vocal Siskins, at least 5 Redpoll sp, 2 Redwing and around 5 Fieldfare.
