A wet start to the day curbed my ambition a bit and I settled for a stroll around Brookfield Plantation here in Corby. Passing their regular spot on the way I was pleased to find what looked like a male and female Peregrine, as usual they were rather distant but were still nice to see all the same.

| Male and female Peregrine. |
The plantation was fairly quiet, several small groups of Fallow Deer were glimpsed but only briefly. Not too many birds of note either, Siskins were heard at least once and a Sparrowhawk caused some alarm as it passed but other than a few Marsh Tits there was little else of note.

| Common and Ruddy Darter. |
Some sunshine did break through during my visit and it brought a few Common Darters out to hunt. Mingling with its commoner cousins was a single male Ruddy which is quite likely to be my last of the season though of course only time will tell. Only one butterfly was identified and that was a Comma.
