We visit a Disused Track running below The Ridgeway in the Thamesead area

Not quite what we had hoped for and if we are to be honest: slightly Creepy. Although it doesn't look it viz.

But there are deep tyre tracks and we were hoping not to meet anyone driving along to/from the Horses we had seen when we first noticed the Track. We turned round after encountering a strange and rather sickly smell.

Butterflies seen:

Comma x2
Green-Veined White 
Orange-Tip x2 including this Butterfly visiting Garlic Mustard:

Peacock x2
Small Tortoiseshell 
Speckled Wood x3
Unidentified White x7

We also saw our first Damselflies of the year: including this Guy:

and a couple of Hairy Shield Bugs viz.

There was nothing unusual Wild Flower-Wise.

And, whilst en-route Home we spotted a Green Hairstreak Butterfly beside the Footpath that runs from Bazalgette Road to the Crossness Nature Reserve alongside the Crossness Sewage Works viz.
