BIRDS AND BOTANY	PENNINGTON FLASH Our visit to Pennington Flash was a great success, the weather was kind for a change and, as expected as we hit autumn, the number of bird species overtook the number of wildflowers. Highlights among the 38 species of bird recorded included good sightings of the rare willow tit and watching a large white egret catch and swallow two fish. We also rescued an elephant hawk moth caterpillar that was crossing a well used path.
