- warm, sunny, and more migrants!
I arrived too late to see an osprey flying over, but enjoyed watching a couple of little gulls flying so differently to the black-headed gulls. Someone found a garden warbler, while another visitor saw a whooper swan flying over....summer and winter on the same day. Today's 68 recorded bird species also included wheatear, corn bunting, dunlin, oystercatcher, common tern, sedge warbler, ringed plover, yellowhammer and goldeneye. Incredibly, no-one could find a goldfinch.
Alder flies seemed to have emerged in large numbers, at least seven butterfly species were flying, and one lucky couple found a grass snake.
