Just a few lines and a few pictures that might be of interest . A beautiful day for hedgelaying near Leith Hill in Surrey , if anything too warm for this country craft , but lets not complain . The hedge to be layed , first thing this morning :-
The hedge , as we left it , part layed , going back in two weeks :-
Hopefully , this side if the field gate will be completed then .
Like busses , they come in twos , as it was with the Pale Tussock moth caterpillar . After my neighbour finding one yesterday , one of the layers found this one today . Today's specimen was prepared to un-curl , and was very active .
Not so many Buzzards heard or seen today , but one individual caught my eye , but by the time I got the camera from the car , it was soaring on a thermal and a poor photo was the result .
As we were packing up for the day , Corvids were mobbing a bird of prey , I think it was a Sparrowhawk , but couldn't be sure as it was in the distance .
All day at Shorne Park tomorrow , chances of wildlife ?

All your caterpillar photos are great. Such diversity. And it's fun to see the dragonflies and butterlfies too. You sure find a lot of wildlife!
The Pale Tussock must be one of the most attractive caterpillar we have don't you think?
