A long conveyor belt of showers came sliding out of France all afternoon. Between the showers we walked at Coombe Hill in the early evening. The pasture showed signs of intensive sheep occupation, but was empty. A group of Song Thrush were feeding off the insects that had been attracted.
Across the 'saddle' were a family of four Ravens. I have often seen family groups like this here in the summer.
The steep slopes of the Coombe has been heavily grazed and the Common Spotted Orchids were much reduced from last year. It didn't take long to spot the Rabbits who have no doubt contributed to the nibbling.
