8th July - sunny am, becoming cloudy afternoon, light SSE, 18C

Misterton;

Spotted Flycatcher still taking food to the nest.

Nuthatch heard, juv Coal Tit with Blue and Great Tits.

Lilbourne Meadows; evening.

A second Shoveler brood, 7, not many days old either.  The first brood is still present and quite large now.  Also, a drake in eclipse.  The second brood duck was not messing with any of this and qui9ckly chased them away from her brood.

Four Swifts, eight Little Egrets, 35 Lapwings.

Some distant record photos of second brood before disappearing in to vegetation.
