13.45 - 14.15. Visit also ended by a heavy shower. At the start of the year I set myself the target of seeing ChBs at 20 different sites. A single male that didn't hang around long, disappearing over the fence at the foot of the slope shortly after I saw it, made this (quite likely the last) site number 26, if I have counted correctly! In most cases numbers have been low, but it has been encouraging to see them at so many locations.The challenge has also taken me to a few new places that I am sure I will be visiting again.
