Today was better than most, the highlights being a pair of Garganey (JP et al), an Egyptian Goose (Richard Laverack/Mark Linnington) both on the main scrape, a Red Kite north and a Little Ringed Plover on the wader scrape.
Also of note Cuckoo and Goldcrest singing and a pair of Teal are still around.
Butterflies included 9m & 2f Orange-tip, 1 Red Admiral, 3m Brimstone, 5 Comma and 1 Common Blue (Les & Andrew Corrall).
