Lots of warblers flitting through the leaves of the small trees and shrubs of the Blue course this morning.

| Blackcap [4th Blue] |
 |
| Chiffchaff [3rd Blue] |
 |
| Willow Warbler [4th Blue] |
This Red Admiral was warming up on the left of the 5th Blue.

| Red Admiral Vanessa atalanta [5th Blue] |
Whilst this Ringlet was drying out from the early morning due on the 3rd Blue. With their underwing visible, you can see where the name comes from.
 |
| Ringlet Aphantopus hyperantus [3rd Blue] |
A good crop of Wild Raspberries are starting to ripen on the left of the 14th Blue - tasted very sweet.
 |
| Raspberry Rubus idaeus [14th Blue] |
In the wood on the Blue I found some Marsh Cudweed, which is actually a lot more common nationally than the Common Cudweed that grows in much of the rough around the estate and which, despite its name, is on the Oxfordshire Rare Plants Register.

| Marsh Cudweed Gnaphalium uliginosum [6th Blue] |
 |
| Common Cudweed Filago vulgaris [15th Blue] |
