Green Sandpipers and Butterflys Galore

Hobby
Yesterday, myself, Daniel and Matt decided to take a birding trip out of the County.  We decided to head for Upton Warren and then make our way back home via other sites.

It was a pleasure to be back at Upton Warren, which really is a well managed site with some reedbeds as well as an extensive pool ideal for waders (something we would love to have in South Warwickshire).  Wader counts were high with 10-11 Green Sandpipers, 3 Common Sandpipers and 10 Curlews.  Also around were LRP's and Avocets.

However, the stars of the day were the many butterflies seen round Upton Warren.
