Billingham Beck Valley - Sunday 5th March 2015

Today, we went for an afternoon walk at Billingham Beck Valley. As we left the car park, it wasn't long before we saw our first butterfly. A Small Tortoiseshell was subathing on the grass and further up the path a Peacock flew past us.

Birds seen, were Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Hedge Sparrow, Chaffinch, Robin, Jackdaw and Carrion Crow.

Throughout our walk the Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock butterflies were enjoying the sunshine.

By the end of the walk we counted 12 Peacock and 11 Small Tortoiseshell butterflies.
