I stopped at the local lake this morning, the Mute Swan has hatched and has nine cygnets, that's a good number, greater than last year. They all looked healthy and of equal size, so they have a good chance to survive, but a long way to go yet.
Whitethroat, Blackcap, Willow Warbler were all singing. Amazingly the reed bed is now full of Reed Warblers, very few at the last visit, seemingly more that last year, but Sedge Warblers were missing today. A pair of Reed Buntings have taken up residence. A single Swift past overhead.
Two stunning 'golden' Broad Bodied Dragonfly were flying and setttling next to me, shame I did not have my camera. Another Dragonfly species dashed by, to quick to identify. Two Speckled Wood butterflies and a Large White were flying too.
