A pleasant day, better than forecasted. Quite a build up of Common Swift feeding over the reserve 100+ birds, a classic sight in summer. Plenty of evidence of breeding with many Shelduck and Mallard chicks around the Mere and Blue Tit, Great Tit and Tree Sparrow young on the feeders.

Common Buzzard were active. At least one Little Ringed Plover on the Mere.

Cuckoo yesterday from the Reed Bed Walk.
