Friday and Saturday

Friday saw three Swifts over early and later a single over the Pond. Exitted the library just in time to see a newly arrived Hobby slip by, I think maybe the first I've ever seen on Portsea Island. New in Reed Warbler singing strongly from the east side and Blackcap doing the same from the woodland area.
Four smart adult Lesser Black-backs and a couple of Swallows.

Today the Reed Warbler was silent or possibly departed, the male Gadwall still on his todd. Insect wise Dock Bug and numerous Myathropa florea (both below) and single Large Red Damselfly, another shieldbug spp, several each of Small White, Holly Blue and Speckled Wood and finally four Swallows over the rooftops.

Later at a crowded QECP, two Buzzards and three Firecrests, one seen, plus more Myathropa florea, various unidentified Cheilosia and several Brimstones/Small Tortoiseshells/Holly Blues/Peacocks/Small Whites.
