Sunny spells with a few light showers, 21°, breezy WSW.

Also, Garden Warbler, Blackcap, Common Whitethroat, Reed Bunting, Sedge Warbler, Kingfisher and Sparrowhawk.

Dragonflies: Emperor, Ruddy Darter, Common Darter, Emerald Damselfly, Banded Demoiselle, Black-tailed Skimmer, Small Red-eyed Damselfly, Azure Damselfly, Blue-tailed Damselfly, White-legged Damselfly, and Red-eyed Damselfly.

Butterflies: Marbled White, Meadow Brown, Gatekeeper, Brown Argus, Small Skipper, Small Heath, Speckled Wood, Holly Blue, Red Admiral and Painted Lady.
