On the north side just 350+ Sand Martins, ten Swifts and a handful of Buzzards.
On the south side this small Grass Snake on the usual stump and elsewhere two much smaller individuals. A distant perched Emperor and a Common Darter but again virtually no hovers or diptera. Still two very unfledged Common Terns and another handful of Buzzards. Kingfishers were calling distantly and no sign of yesterday's GWE. A Sharp-angled Peacock was on the wall.
Back home in windy conditions, the Hemp Agrimony now looks pretty dried out so no V.z for the first time in weeks; just the male V.inanis in that area plus two each of Holly Blue, Speckled Wood and Red Admiral.
