A very long overdue summer update...
There hasn't been a huge amount to report though to be honest. Not many visits and very few birds.
The highlight of the last 3 months was 2 Ringed Plover seen by JFT on 28th July. Quite an unusual date for them and possibly early returning birds heading south.
On 23rd June Clive saw a (the?) Grey Partridge again but up by the Borrow Pit pool up the valley this time, which was probably the main other highlight.
Common Sandpipers and Yellow-legged Gulls started appearing again in July. Up to 2 Little Egrets became fairly regular and there was the occasional Yellow Wagtail and Raven, a Lapwing on the 4th August and 2 Teal on the 14th August.
Willow Emeralds and Small Red-eyed Damselflies were the best of the odonata seen, but far fewer numbers than the previous couple of years.
