We went for a walk round the Longmoor ranges this afternoon. The bird spotter/photographer we'd seen at Thursley common on Monday had mentioned it as a good place for nature and although I've cycled round it a number of times I'd never walked it before so it seemed a good idea as the weather was so nice. And we saw: a buzzard, a kestrel, stonechats, a woodlark, robins, green woodpeckers, broad-bodied chasers, a black-tailed chaser, a broad-winged damselfly, common damselflies, fritillaries, large skippers, those bumble-bee-like-hoverflies, cinnabar moth caterpillars, an emperor moth caterpillar, a wagtail, some cattle, rabbits, crows, a springer spaniel whose owner passed her over a gate to me, a Supermarine Spitfire (mark IXB), and a comma. And these were just the things we noticed.

Apart from the guy with the spaniel, we also had chats with a woman with binoculars and a man on a push bike who tipped us off about the fritillaries. So it was a very enjoyable walk, although the seven miles seems much longer on foot than on a bike!
