A good day for butterflies with the first Ringlet of the year and dozens of Meadow Brown flitting around and good numbers of Small Skipper.
Bunk line was rather quiet today with bird song becoming less frequent as most birds have probably established breeding territories by now. Only the odd Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Common Whitethroat singing.
First young of Swallow seen on the wing with a flock of c16, the majority being young birds.
Several House Martin and Swift feeding overhead and 2 Sand Martin noted.
Alan covered the River/Marsh area: With Common Tern, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Common Whitethroat Etc.
Dragonflies: Red eyed Damselfly, Small Red-eyed Damselfly, Large Red Damselfly, Common Blue Damselfly, Azure Damselfly, White-legged Damselfly, Four Spotted Chaser & Emperor.
Butterflies: Large Skipper, Small Skipper, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Comma, Speckled Wood, Marbled White, Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Small Heath.
