9.45 - 12. Walked from Ugford Farm to Grovely entrance north of Dinton. Includes brief forays into set-aside areas adjacent to track, rich in nectar sources. ClY at field margin near SU044328. Looks like RAs have moved from the nearby woodland rides to the ivy-rich hedgerows lining the Drove, which are beginning to flower. Mind you, still someway to go before peak RA numbers along the Drove, I reckon.
