Too cool and totally overcast for any insects although a glimpse in the same area as 10 days ago of probably two Beewolf. No hovers other than Marmalade Fly and a single Chrysogaster solstitialis and only a few skippers and Common Blue to augment Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper.
The constant sound of House Martins is such a simple pleasure for a townie and two hundred or so Sand Martins with 50 or more Swifts low over the water were very watchable. A couple of Med Gulls, and adult and a 2cy, drifted over southwards, a single Grey Heron and later a moulty Buzzard over The Causeway.
