A cloudy, and rather chilly start, but by midday the sun had won its battle with the clouds and it had become tolerably warm. I had arranged to take a couple of friends, Jan and Richard, around the patch to show them the delights on offer.
Typically no unexpected species were found, although a singing Lesser Whitethroat was new for them. Missing from the list were any Owls, Cuckoo, and Reed Warbler. Predictably the Ringed Plover had gone, but a pair of Little Ringed Plovers remained. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the drake Teal was also still present.
I did manage to take a few nice photos though.
