A pair of Mute Swans have 3 fledged cygnets and it was pleasing to see several Black-tailed Skimmers on the wing.
In the woodland areas were 2 singing Garden Warblers, loads of Whitethroats and Blackcaps, 5 male Brimstone butterflies and 110 Bee Orchids near the carved Badger seat. Southern Marsh and Spotted Orchids are also present. A Cuckoo seen at the western edge of the site didn't sing or call.
