Despite being a non-birding day it proved still possible to 'engage with the public' as a trip out to Mud Island led to a chat with a couple, also purchasing plants, and driven by a nectaring Painted Lady. Needless to say Springwatch was mentioned!! And the presence of the PL feeding on it led me to buy a Scabious!!
Plenty of Swallow and House Martin activity, presumably all nesting close by. Earlier, a few minutes parked up at West Walk was quiet; hoping for some Crossbill 'chipping' but probably a little too optimistic.
Back home my new (and first) Moth Trap was being delivered unexpectedly. Woo-hoo!!
