Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.

Garganey-less TH
An earlyish start at TH with ten Eiders and three Common Scoters.
Paper and breakfast with ... shock horror... changes to the menu (some good, some not so) and increased prices!!
The Eiders sailed passed the harbour mouth and Sandwich Tern went west.
Sadly the Garganey had jumped ship. A few hovers including NFY Tropidia scita and Helophilus pendulus plus some unidentifiable Neoascias.
Thirty or forty Swallows and a few House Martin plus a couple of Sedge Warblers ( heard only). The Little Gull sailed across 11 acres.
No sight/sound of Water Voles today.
A/the Holly Blue was in the same place as Tuesday.
