A walk out to the Lees and beyond today, several Goldcrest in the school wood and quite a few Swallow and House Martin between Marymead and Manor Farm.
A singing Corn Bunting and a pair of Reed Bunting out towards the Lees and a Mistle Thrush flew over.
The “Long Dyke” had a couple of species of Damselfly present and a Demoiselle also.
A pair of Yellow Wagtail, several Skylark and another Corn Bunting and a Grey Heron along one of the field edges.
The “Reedy Ditch” had at least 3 Reed Warbler and 5 Sedge Warbler present along with 2 pair of Reed Bunting.
A Peregrine seen on the way back resting up on a pylon and the Indian Peafowl still present in the area.
Dragonflies: Azure Damselfly, Large Red Damselfly and Banded Demoiselle.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Orange Tip, Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell.
The Citrine Wagtail is splendid, and the Peacock is outrageous, it shows you never know what to expect..(or perhaps Peacocks are readily findable if you know where to look).
