Dragons

Sunny intervals, 17°, light NW.

Generally, rather quiet birdwise today but made up by several insects appearing.

Alan managed to find our first Club-tailed Dragonfly of the year and a few Banded Demoiselle along the river. The birdy side was a Lesser Whitethroat present in the area also.

The Bunk line/Gravel pit area was very samey, a few more Swallow and Common Whitethroat around and a Sedge Warbler singing in CSW.

This is the first year for many that I have not seen Swifts over the village on this date. Hopefully still to arrive.

Mammals: Brown Hare.

Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Large Red Damselfly & Club-tailed Dragonfly.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Small White, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Comma, Peacock & Speckled Wood.
