Nice start weather wise with blue skies and a light breeze but deteriorating towards midday. Just one Harrier, still all five Kestrels 40 godwits, one sp Dunlin and fifteen mixed plumage Turnstones and a Common Sandpiper. Eleven Acres is now just bone-dry cracked mud. A few Common Darters along the boardwalk but no other odonata.
Two Slow Worms and a small Grass Snake on the east side. Hover-wise Leucozona laternaria (above) at east side entrance and four Eristalinus sepulchralis (above) near Darters Dip.
Also ichneumon type wasp (above) possibly Apechthis compunctor as per FB.
