First up at Titchfield on a nice breezy but warm day (after recent heavy rain and wind) was this Wall butterfly in the reception garden - my first here and first in Hants in an age. Further around this Jersey Tiger was nectaring on Hemp Agrimony with Gatekeeper, Comma and Small White plus three Volucella species. At the dipping pond just the usual Odonata plus the noisy family of Sparrowhawks chasing each other round and showing well at times. A Fox wandered along the boardwalk in front looking pretty ropey, a Kingfisher called and, later at KBH, one of the juvenile harriers was showing well.
Nine turnstones on the beach were forced up onto the groynes as the tide came up.
On the west side (south scrape only) a massive drop off from last visit with all the Avocets having gone, godwits down to 30+ and Common Terns to a similar number. Single Redshank and Ringed Plover.
