13th July - cloudy, breaking to sunny spells, light E, 26C

Lilbourne Meadows; morning

Redshank, Lapwing and LRP families still. A Little Egret and Oystercatcher.
15+ Linnets, Goldfinches and a Sedge Warbler.

Shawell Sandpit/Landfill; morning

No sign of the Ferruginous Duck.
Two Little Egrets.

[Note - a female was found by Chris Hubbard late afternoon at Stanford res, presumed to be this bird having moved there].

Swift valley; afternoon.

Went to check for Blue Hairstreaks, didn't see any today.  Probably sheltering in the shade.  Plenty of other common butterflies though, like this Green-veined White. And Dragonflies/Damselflies.



Stanford  on Avon

Found a Spotted Flycatcher family, distant record shot.


Stanford Res; afternoon.

A very pale grey heron on the dam, seem to get one every year now.  A  Common Sandpiper.  Plus all the other regulars.
