New in today Common Sandpiper on the wader scrape. The only other birds of note were Kingfisher, 3 Siskin feeding on Alder seeds and 6 LBB Gulls.
A few Ringlets, 1 Comma and 1 Large Skipper were eclipsed by 2 male Banded Demoiselles.
Meanwhile two Hornet Mimic Hoverflies (Volucella zonaria) were feeding on Privet (Ligustrum) flowers in Geoff Miller's Beech Avenue, Cudworth garden, which is about 3/4 of mile east of the reserve. One was photographed at Carlton Marsh on 3rd August 2019. I believe it's a migrant from the Mediterranean.
