5th July - cloudy am, sunny periods pm, light W, 26C

Shawell sandpit/Landfill; morning.

The Egyptian Goose family were still present on the south pit.

On the main pit a Common Sandpiper, seven Little Grebes, and the other current usual birds.

The Red Kites, Ravens and other Corvids were over the landfill area plus a small number of Lesser Black-Backed and a few Herring Gulls.  


Magna Park Central; afternoon.

I walked the north boundary corner area, particularly for butterflies.  I spotted 6 Marbled Whites, Small and Large Whites, Meadow Brown, Peacock, Red Admiral, Holly Blues, Common Blue, Brown Argus, Comma, Brimstone, Gatekeepers, Small Skippers and Painted Lady.

Birds included two Green Woodpeckers, Whitethroat, Blackcap and Linnet with a Raven over.
