Devils Dyke, Burwell, Cambridgeshire, has a narrow public footpath along the top of the bank with scarcely enough room for people to pass.
I was amazed and not a little put off, to see a couple lying across the path in the advanced build up to - well you know what. OK, "Blanket on the Ground" is familiar to many people, but in broad daylight in the middle of the path

......But the most amazing aspect was that the bald male was perhaps well into his 50s, and the female (I didn't stare) was grey haired of presumably similar age.
They were unaware of my approach so at about 20 metres, I uttered a cough. The male responded: "Sorry about that" to which I suggested that they could have found a more discreet spot.
I was not the only witness. I subsequently met some Wildlife Trust workers who wondered if I had some good photos that I could sell on ebay, or use to blackmail this couple who were clearly enjoying a covert affair (but not covert enough for my liking). I didn't of course take any photos.
I'm not a prude but I really felt this would be considered by most people to be unacceptable.
A more welcome observation was Chalkhill Blues in good numbers.
