A very still, windless but mostly overcast day with wasps outnumbering everything else especially on umbellifers. Nothing exceptional amongst the hovers although probable multiple Cheilosia pagana were the first I've seen for a while and a couple of Dasysyrphus albiostratus were always good to get. This (typically unidentifiable) Sharp-tailed Bee (Coelioxys spp) was the first I've managed to photograph. These tend to parasitise Megachile spp although I didn't notice any nor indeed much other bee action; again, no  C. hederae.
This smart Small Copper (above) popped up and was gone in a flash; a supporting cast of four Holly Blues and a few Red Admirals was it for butterflies

Birdwise, three of four Whitethroats and maybe 75 mixed hirundines were about it for passerines. A typically west bound Raven was very audible.

The singles of Ruff and Common Sandpiper were elusive on far sides of the islands with the former only visible from the third hide looking south.

This Cormorant was curiously close on the 'groyne' adjacent to the river outflow and not disturbed by the large duck-feeding family group on the beach; I'm not sure I've ever seen one inside the harbour.

Earlier the moth trap didn't produce much (25/13) with a smart, fresh L-album Wainscot the best; thankfully still not caught any wasps here.
