The regular call in at PCF and it again is surprising how many GATEKEEPER butterflies are on the main bund. My guesstimate is 100. A few SWALLOW about 3 and HOUSE MARTIN. BLACKCAP and single CHIFFCHAFF. A few COMMON BLUE damselflies and a single EMPOROR DRAGONFLY.
Links Hill: On arrival our one legged MED GULL was back on stag as it sat with HERRING and BHG. But the best surprise was a single LITTLE GULL that performed well for the camera. Just great to see this diminutive bird,
The usual walk out on the marsh with the opportunity to talk with about 30 people some for the first time. Sadly had to talk with a cyclist who I asked to dismount. She did with I thought this was a bridleway. Another load of rot. Watched three GREAT WHITE EGERET and a RED KITE flew through. I also had a flock of 28 LONG TAILED TIT fly through with a few BLUE TIT. Plenty of GATEKEEPER butterflies with a very tatty TORT.
After along while I have invested in a new lap top so at last a key board that works. It is surprising how easy it is when you have the right gear. Thing is no idea.
Home: Sat outside in the garden and about mid morning the starling population started a kick off. It did not take long for a low view of a HOBBY which was more interested in the SWIFTS. Some excitement for a few minuets but soon over. This was followed by a YELLOW BRIMSTONE BUTTERFLY which spent most of the day flittering about with the CABBAGE BUTTERFLY population.
Ness: Five PIED WAGTAIL most young birds. Three OYSTERCATCHER and the same GREAT BLACK BACKED GULL.
