A trip out with the boys today with our first stop at the Lydlinch Common in Dorset to look for the Common Nightingale and we managed to get 4 of them at least with one of them showing well but only for a short while , the others were heard on call . Also seen were 2 Garden Warbler and a male Blackcap .
We then went to Martin Down in Hampshire and European Turtle Dove was the main bird that we were looking for , and it took us quite a bit of searching but in the end we saw 3 of them , we also saw 2 Grey Partridge ( a very rare bird for us back in Devon ) , a Common Cuckoo , another Garden Warbler , and a Corn Bunting .
Other things seen today were Brimstone , Green-Veined White , Grizzled Skipper and Dingy Skipper Butterflies and an Oil Beetle .
