9.45 - 12.30. A week on from my last walk along the Drove from Ugford Red Buildings to Lodge Coppice where it enters Grovely and RA numbers have increased somewhat, there being quite a lot more ivy flowering in the trees and hedgerows along the Drove. SW numbers still high - sighting include a mating pair. Walking back to Wilton also saw a ClY near Parsonage Down Clump at SU026343, patroling the edges of an area planted with sunflowers and other seed plants for game birds. Watched it for 15 minutes and it didn't stop flying once!
