Insects included Small Tortoiseshell and Red Admiral. The latter feeding on Goat Willow catkins. (Chris Parkin)
 
This afternoon Little Owl and a c200 Golden Plover that had been flying up and down the Dearne valley, they finally got as far as Bleachcroft Farm before turning back towards Edderthorpe.
 
The highlight of the day was a singing Chiffchaff from Hawthorns near the wader scrape. (Dave Standish) A Hare seen at the same location was the first since May 23rd 2015!
