Decided to go out for an evening walk yesterday as the weather was so nice.

Hiked up to Rusper where I saw what I believe to be a Sparrow Hawk or Hobby skimming over the top of the wood, looking for some tasty morsel no doubt.

Then walked back down towards Horsham via a number of footpaths I've never been on before; first towards Faygate and then down towards Horsham using more footpaths I've never used before. Lots of bluebells out, many different butterfly species spotted as well as lots of birds, including Yellowhammers, Partridges and also the first Swallow I have seen this year. The usual Tits, Sparrows, Thrushes, Blackbirds, Wrens and Finches were well represented too.

The usual obligatory, for the time of year, lambs were enjoying the lovely weather, as were the rabbits who were out in abundance.

All in all a glorious and refreshing walk to end a busy week; all 11 miles of it.
