1st June: Kittiwake Colony, Seaford Head

 We counted well over a hundred nests, and estimated there could be as many as 200. Lots of individuals were foraging for seaweed, before carrying it up to their nests.

Rock Pipit

Honeysuckle, Hill Road

 Honeysuckle seems to be doing really well in the aftermath of Ash Die-back. Good news for White Admirals.

Cuckmere Valley, Alfriston

Reed Bunting

Beautiful Demoiselle

Blue-tailed Damselfly
 

Full Moon, Hill Road

 

Great Spotted Woodpecker nests, Jevington Plantation

 Had to go back and check up on the two nests. Both are still inhabited by noisy chicks and attended by scolding adults.

Pyramidal Orchids in the Wildflower Lawn, Hill Road

#34 Pyramidal Orchid. Obviously, not in full flower yet. One did flower in 2019, but the weird life-cycle of Orchids meant, I hadn't given up hope of it returning. 

#35 Trailing Bellflower 

#36 French Cranesbill 
 

Stinking Iris, Friston Forest

 The Iris looks beautiful.... All the Common Helleborine had gone over in this week's heat.
