12th August - sunny spells, cloud increased pm, brief showers evening, light SW, 20C

Willey; I heard today that a Camberwell Beauty was spotted by a visitor to the village a couple of days ago on a Buddleia bush.  Sighting is reliable as the person is a volunteer counting butterflies for the Wildlife Trust.  Hopefully, it can be seen again - by me!

A Skylark was in the long grass in Hurls Furlong again first thing.

Shawell Sandpit; evening.  Very quiet, a Common Sandpiper was feeding, a single Shoveler, five Teal, three Tufted Ducks. At least 10 Ravens were noted, many flying together in circles.

A5 Pools//DIRFT;  a Common Sandpiper, three Ringed Plovers, a juv Little Ringed Plover, a Curlew, two Little Grebe and five Yellow Wagtails.
