Another lovely day with temperatures in the low 20c. This morning there were new broods of Mallard (9) and Greylag Goose (5) on the wader scrape to add to the two Canada Goose goslings on the main scrape. Single Swallows (3) and a Sand Martin passed through heading north. A Snipe got up from the main scrape where 2 pairs of Tufted Duck, a pair of Teal and a Dabchick were feeding.
Singing from their respective territories were; 7 Reed Buntings, 13 Blackcaps, 4 Reed warblers, 3 Willow Warblers and a Whitethroat, which was new in today.
Butterflies included 1m Brimstone, 46 Orange-tips and 35 Speckled Woods (Chris Parkin)
