Most notable feature today was the absence of tern noises on arrival; eerily quiet compared to the past few months.

A glimpse of what was probably an Ivy Bee behind reception and lots of Red Admirals on Buddleia, Commas on Blackberries and Speckled Woods just sunbathing.

One refugium had a small Grass Snake and a Slow Worm and the other, three  Slow Worms no more than 3 inches long.

These buzzards above were presumably related as they spent plenty of time play fighting and behind them two Ravens landed distantly with the geese and a distant blob on a post was probably a Wheatear!! One Sedge Warbler was the first for a while. And Helophilus pendulus was the most numerous hover.

The West side was pretty empty, six Snipe being the best.
