There were several warbler species singing notably 8 Chiffchaffs, 10 Reed Warblers, 2 Cetti's Warblers, 2 Willow Warblers and several Blackcaps.
There were also family groups of Long-tailed Tits and Great Tits. A Goldcrest sang in the car park and 2 Yellow Buntings were in full song from the tops of nearby hedgerows.
When the sun came out 2 Meadow Browns, a beautiful male Common Blue and a Large Skipper were visible.
Also the first Emperor Dragonfly of the year, 1 Four Spotted Chaser and 2 Emerald Damselflies, our first for 3 years!
18 Burnet Companion moths are now looking worse for wear.
4 spikes of the Common Spotted Orchid and several South Marsh orchids added even more colour.
