Willey;
0900h, 45 Swallows on the wires, not really up to usual numbers. I'm sure a lot of the first broods were lost due to the very wet late spring/early summer.
Welney;
A enjoyable day here, but also very low butterfly and dragonfly numbers and variety about, as in many areas this year.
Single Spoonbill, Snipe, Black-tailed Godwits, Green Sandpipers, Lapwing, 35 Ruff, two Avocets, two Dunlin.
Teal, Mallard, Egyptian Geese - 4, Whooper Swan family. Single marsh Harrier. Five Great White Egrets, several Grey Herons.
Four Yellow Wagtails and Sedge Warbler in front of main hide.
100+ House Martins on around the centre, flying off the roof, practicing to go!, Also Swallows, in one hide two nests with young still, these will be at least two weeks before they fledge.
Tree and House Sparrows were in good numbers around the feeders and centre area.
