Richard was held up on the motorway so we had rather a late start. It was sunny at first and cloudy later with a light to moderate westerly.
There was little sign of migrating birds, but the nearest flash produced an unexpected Little Grebe (second of the year), and the first pair of Mute Swans since the spring,

Earlier we had seen four Stonechats in and around the chat field, and a Yellowhammer had flown over. Four Chiffchaffs remain.

There were only two Shovelers left on the flash pools, and Teal seemed less in evidence too.
Butterflies comprised several Red Admirals, a Comma, and a Green-veined/Small White, while dragonflies were a few Migrant Hawkers, Common Darter, and Ruddy Darter.

You can tell its a bit quiet when you start photographing flies.
