Willey; 

Redstart on top fence line still this morning.

Black Redstart  possible again in the farm yard, but very brief flight view, in to sunlight.

Lilbourne Meadows; morning.

c50 Lapwing and a Curlew, a Little Egret and two Grey Herons.  A Buzzard and Green Woodpecker.  A single Teal a 6 Mallards.

Mere Lane Lake, afternoon.

Several pairs of Coot, Moorhen and Little grebes still feeding young, these will be at least second broods.

A Sparrowhawk flew into cover, and a Green Woodpecker was nearby.  Black-headed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls dropping in for a drink and bathe.

Plenty of Dragonflies, but Butterflies thin on the ground due to lack of thriving flowers in this dry, hot period.
