Warm dull with a bit of drizzle this morning. Brightened by a charm of goldfinch feeding on burdock. A couple of minutes later excitement when a crow chased a sparrow hawk overhead.

A walk to Greenside Reservoir this afternoon. We saw a speckled wood, possible the last butterfly this year and a hawker dragonfly.
