Wednesday Update

Two Barn Owl hunting until 10am at least.

Three Green Sandpiper on Woodend Marsh, also there 8 Little Ringed Plover and Ringed Plover. An adult Raven with 2 flying young also Woodend.

Raptors include Marsh Harrier, Buzzard and Kestrel.

Grasshopper Warbler reeling in dense mixed scrub to the left of Woodend Marsh audible from Reedbed Walk.

Some excellent breeding news with 5 Common Tern now fledged and one more getting bigger by the day. Eight fledged Avocet and 17 fledged Lapwing. Worth noting that a fledged bird is one that can now fly so these birds are in a lot less danger from predation.

Butterflies; Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Brimstone.

Dragonfly; Black-tailed Skimmer, Four-spotted Chaser, Banded Demoiselle
