12th May - sunny and very warm, 25C, light E

Lilbourne Meadows; morning.

Still no wader passage on the flood pools, but 5 Little Egrets feeding.

Five Buzzards circling and calling over head, 4 drake Gadwall and a single drake Shoveler, otherwise similar to recent visits.

Northants wood; afternoon.

Two Nightingales singing, Green Woodpecker, Garden Warbler and Blackcap, a Green Woodpecker also a Cuckoo.  Red Kite with nest.

Still so few butterflies around after the very wet and cold April, only a few Orange-tips, a Brimstone, Red Admiral and a couple of Speckled Woods.
