Like everywhere else it is relatively quiet. Today's sightings included 22 Herring Gulls 5 Common Gulls, Cormorant, Kingfisher, Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Buzzard, 20 Fieldfare and 50 + Redwings. A Green Woodpecker was repeatedly 'Yaffling', a Water Rail was seen on one of the islands and a Willow Tit called from the wader scrape viewpoint. This species of concern is certainly proving difficult to find! 65 Magpies were counted coming to roost in Hawthorns.
A search for butterflies and moths proved fruitful. 8 Peacock butterflies and 5 Herald moths were discovered. (Chris Parkin)
