Ash Tree Farm; afternoon
A walk around the area, birds were few due to the wing but the warmth made the insect activity very lively.
A single Little Grebe was on the lake, we believe there is a pair and the other is on a nest (this was conformed the following day when young were seen - first known site breeding record).
Butterflies included; Small Copper, Common and Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Meadow Browns, Ringlet and Large Skippers. Many Chimney Sweep moths.
Black-tailed Skimmers and other Dragonflies.
Lilbourne Meadows; evening
I specifically went here to check for Marbled White as Mick & Sandra had just reported their first at Newbold. Despite the rather breezy conditions I did spot three.
