Went out on Dur Hill Down (just SW of Burley) this morning at about 10am. The sunny mild weather is getting the birds singing. Several Stonechats singing and 1 Woodlark. In areas of the Forest with open grassland it is worth listening and looking out for Woodlarks from now on. Also saw 1 Red Admiral - anyone seen any other species of butterfly? Simon Curson
