Despite strong winds, some areas had the combination of shelter and sun to bring out 16 species/groups of hover although nothing outstanding. Just Four-spot and Hairy Hawker plus Azure Damselfly on the odonata front. One Large Skipper was the only decent butterfly. A couple of Sicus ferrugineus were the first ones I've come across this year.

Just the female Marsh Harrier on show and later two flybys of a female Cuckoo. Probably 40+ Avocets  including one well grown youngster, a family of 12 Shelducklings and a few BHG chicks. One pair of Common Terns on eggs amongst the BHGs in front of Meon Shore. Near the gate a Sedge Warbler feeding young.
