I just had to capture this typical Cotswold landscape.

This morning I paid a visit to a large Cotswold estate to carry on with an Orchid survey I started a few weeks ago, its still a bit early for many orchids but I just wanted to see how things were developing.
There were signs of Common Spotted and Bee Orchids but no flower spikes yet, however the Common Twayblades are starting to open nicely.
I also found a clump of Adderstongue which was a nice discovery.

At last I was able to get out and start checking nest boxes in the Upper Thames Valley.
I was joined by Anna and her young son Sam, we soon had the farm yard sorted with nothing to report, although the gamekeeper was too keen for me to check one particular nest box with a Hornets nest in!!! luckily he knew it was an old nest and there was no one at home.
We managed to ring seven Great Tits and a Total of four Tree Sparrows.
