A nice day for twitching a Red-footed Falcon or Elegant Tern maybe? Or maybe not. So just a quiet local day with numerous Ladybird larvae, Thick-legged Flower-beetles and few hovers. Several Comma and Holly Blue but nothing very photogenic. Over the field a hawking Swallow which presumably has a nest in a local outbuilding and in a sun-dappled 'alcove' near the centre three Volucella pellucens and glimpse of a hawker type dragonfly; can't believe it was Hairy at this site. Just Blackcap (2) and Chiffchaff singing and a fishing Grey Heron.
