I know that the above is the title of a Christmas song, but personally, I prefer May. Santa and all of his helpers can't compete with 10 species of warbler, cuckoo, turtle dove, yellow wagtail and hobby, particularly on a day like today.
Other highlights on site today included a freshly emerged banded demoiselle damselfly and grass vetchling which is now flowering along the footpath along the eastern boundary. First discovered on site last year, the east side seems to be carpetted in it this year. It can be told apart from other vetches currently in flower, by its bright pink flowers growing on stalks either singularly, or in pairs. It's leaves are also grass-like.
