14th May - sunny, warm 23C, light SW

Shawell sandpit; a look here this morning, Carl was already present and confirmed that it was pretty quiet with just the regulars present.

Magna Park; I explored some area of the boundary this afternoon and found some good habitat, principally only the commoner birds, but there were several Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat and Garden Warblers singing.  A Mute Swan was sitting on its nest.

A good selection of Butterflies, including a Green Hairstreak.




A5 Pools/DIRFT; Four Ringed Plovers, also an Oystercatcher pair with two large youngsters, still food begging though.  Two Linnets.

Lilbourne Meadows -  a male Yellow Wagtail, 17 Starlings coming in to feed on the pasture, four Gadwall, Shelduck pair, and a Ringed Plover.
