Just some highlights from a recent walk, loosely along the South Downs Way at Cocking. It's a lovely area of Sussex to go looking for birds, butterflies and plants —with the bonus of the Flint Barn Cafe just by the car park!
There were swathes of glorious Foxgloves and avian highlights included a lightning-fast Hobby, a singing Tree Pipit, and several Firecrests and Goldcrests singing.
Painted Lady butterflies stole the show when it came to lepidoptera, with several bathing in the evening sun along the track as I headed back.
