Hello
A wander around Harrington Airfield first thing this morning was pleasant but apart from a low-flying hot air balloon the only particular items of interest were three Brown Hares, three Grey Partridges and a few Marbled White butterflies.
This afternoon there were two Whinchats in the Brampton Valley in vegetation alongside the brook below Hanging Houghton and some scanning at the dam of Pitsford Reservoir provided views of discarded BBQs from the week-end just gone, a remarkable number of people swimming in the green water and three Yellow-legged Gulls!
A Purple Emperor butterfly was on show at Salcey Forest this mornimg in Green Woodpecker car park.
A fabulous deluge hit us hard this evening with thunder and lightning and lots of big hail stones!
Regards
Neil M

Hi Neil, we in Brixworth, of course, got the hail too and I personally, have never seen it so big in this country. The stones were all over half an inch, with one on my front lawn over an inch across. I haven't checked the paintwork on my car yet
It's becoming more volatile out there!
