I will do a fuller update at the weekend, however I wanted to let you know that there have been two swallowtails in good condition seen in the past couple of days. The second generation is always very variable, so the two individuals may be it for the second generation... or we may get many more, we'll just have to wait and see.
Other brief news for this week has included a little stint at Buckenham and an osprey over Strumpshaw meadows on Wednesday. Tower Hide has seen a flock of up to 15 ruff, two green sand pipers and a common sandpiper, while reception has been a good place to see kingfisher and bearded tits have been showing near constantly all week feeding in the base of the reeds.
