Sweeper

As it was a sunny evening I popped down to Tong Park after tea to see what was about.

The Chimney Sweepers have emerged over the past few days although as they tend to perch upside down it can be tricky to get a decent picture but as a bonus you have a nice wonky view of the meadow too.

A kestrel glided overhead as I walked over to the beck, where I saw my first local Large Skippers of the year, along with lots of Silver-ground Carpet in the grass.

Earlier, there was some filming going on in City Park (extra), I thought it was a music video or fashion shoot given the eclectic staging, costumes and smoke, but apparently it's for the drama, Ackley Bridge.
