Compton Down

Post by PimperneBloke »

So, a little trip out yesterday before the drizzle came in, preceded by a few from the garden, inspired by Germain's comment about Chalkhill Blues...



So, unfortunately no Chalkhills, but reason to go out again :D

Thanks William.... go out early before they, and the weather, have warmed up... they may not be still, but they're definitely slower lol
