Just missed an Osprey so it seems but things are not always what they seem. So the best today was not a bird but again another flyer. What I first believed to be a Black Darter was in fact a female Black Tailed Chaser, still learning and still slow. Also SMALL SKIPPER and BLACK TAILED CHASER which were in the best numbers I have ever seen and must have made over 20 in all. I did have a lovely GREEN SAND but it was well of and the BLACK TAILED GODWIT were in good colour with 11 birds in all. It was also good to see a pair of COMMON TERN on the scrape and also several pairs of beautiful coloured LINNET. SEDGE, REED, and CETTI'S WARBLER as well as COMMON WHITETHROAT. A single COMMON BUZZARD and 3 LAPWING.

FEMALE BLACK TAILED CHASER I think?
