MOULDEN HILL

After getting home from work, I headed straight out again to Moulden Hill country park, to look for warblers and butterflies. It was a beautiful late afternoon with birdsong all around. 

 Butterflies seen were orange tip, brimstone, peacock, and comma.

 Birds seen included jay,  reed warbler, sedge warbler, blackcap, lesser whitethroat (I think). 

 A few photos below:
lesser whitethroat, I think, due to  having dark legs and a lack of white eye ring  (please correct me if you think otherwise!)

more pictures of the same   whitethroat
