Beautiful views from the top of the hill looking out over Oxfordshire |
Their colour varies from red (in drier conditions) to light green (in damper conditions). They don't look very much like frogs, but you could maybe see a frogs body with it's long legs dangling below and behind it.
This one had a bug on it, which I believe is a type of mired bug called calocoris roseomaculatus |
As I walked around, I saw lots of butterflies including marbled whites, meadow browns, small heaths and small skippers. I also saw 3 dark green fritillaries bombing about and was lucky enough to get a photo of one that had settled for a few seconds.

From my vantage point on the top of the hill, the red kites were soaring around me and in some cases below me, giving me a unique view of them from above.
A wonderful way to end 30 Days Wild!
Yes, that is indeed a mistle thrush.
