... and one at Rainham today too!
The only summer visitor I have logged so far was 3 Ringed Plovers seen at Nosterfield in N.Yorks earlier this week.We have had one or two Blackcaps but these may be overwintering birds.

We both heard a chiffchaff calling yesterday at Woolhampton Gravel pits. Sadly, we didn't manage a photo as we couldn't pinpoint where it was.
According to the idents. on my WGP thread, I photographed 2 female stonechats yesterday, but there were several more that I failed to shoot:

Hi Seymour
I forgot to mention that we saw a slightly unusual summer visitor yesterday at Woolhampton Gravel pits, it was a brimstone butterfly flying backwards and forwards along the riverbank opposite where we sat watching the kingfisher.
It's the first butterfly I have seen this year
