Sunday August 4

A muggy warm morning.

It was another pretty quiet visit. The most interesting sighting was a Reed Warbler in a thick hedgerow. The flash field produced seven Green Sandpipers, two Snipe, 21 Lapwings, and five Teal.

The butterfly highlight was a single Painted Lady, not the deluge we have been promised in recent news items.

A single Long-winged Conehead was the first of that species of cricket this year.

Quite a few Whitethroats are now out of the nest.

As I said, pretty quiet.
