A Bittern thought to have flown from the reserve headed SE over Cudworth's New Cemetery at 08.00hrs. Perhaps towards Edderthorpe Flash (JP).
Around mid-day the temperature peaked at a phenomenal 17c to 18c thereby allowing at least one Willow Emerald to fly for a while. This hardy insect was languishing on a dead Buddlea flower head near the dike a few yards from the bird hide.
Also of note Common Darter male and a Speckled Wood butterfly (Chris Parkin).
