Volunteering day, a few meadow mushrooms dotted around on the reserve and some small coppers still fluttering around. Fox, sparrowhawk, kestrel, red kites, lizard, good day for spotting some of the wildlife we spend our day creating a habitat for. @RowantNNR

Another trip to Aston Rowant a few days ago, searching the south side of the reserve. Really good numbers of Silver-spotted Skipper seen on the southern and western slopes. @RowantNNR

Very enjoyable day in the Chilterns with @RowantNNR staff and volunteers. Highlights were Military Orchid, and the best view I've ever had of a Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk.

One of my favourite things volunteering at @RowantNNR It’s great to be able to watch red kites from above, can’t wait for a bit more warmth and sunshine for some spectacular aerial displays.
