Bank holiday Monday saw us avoiding the road to the seaside like the plague and taking to Jeskyns instead. Had a nice view of a meadow pipit resting on a fence post:

I also saw my first common blue butterfly of the year – this one was still a bit dopey as the weather hasn’t really heated up yet, and it took ages for me to get it to open its wings, but it was an almost fully brown-winged female. The beetle below that is a soldier beetle of the same species I found in Ashenbank Woods last Sunday; there are a lot of these around at the moment. I think the spider is a Clubiona species.
