I haven't been feeling great since we came home but I ventured out for a short walk this afternoon. The Eton Wick flood is still holding on although the only waders I could see were one redshank and a bunch of lapwings. Dorney common is dry and dusty but the brown grass is full of grasshoppers - great for any returning chats.
The banks of the Jubilee River at Marsh Lane brought a few butterflies: Ringlet, Meadow Brown, Large White, and Common Blue.
It's the first time I've managed to photograph the Common Blue. The underwing is pretty, but I failed to catch this male with his wings fully open.
