Yesterday at TH was pretty fruitless being 'Temminck's- less' with the bird, unsurprisingly, reappearing briefly just before closing and then again today. No chance to revisit 'til Friday at the earliest. Singles of Ruff and Greenshank and Turnstones up to 70+.

Today was an Ivy Bee day at PHP but sadly none found just the Colletes spp above being one of very few. The Ivy was either insectless or swarming with Vespulas. A few Tachina fera (as above) and this Small Copper was about it; the 'insect-alley', as per last year, has been cleared ready for this weekend's SotH event.

A family of Egyptian Geese have five goslings about a week old, similar to this time last year and a dozen Cormorants were showing three coarse fisherman how it's done😀. A few calling and one or two singing Chiffchaffs, a single Swallow and barely double figures of House Martin.

Finally, a brief stop at Broadmarsh produced lots of Curlews feeding at the low tide and the expected Osprey perched up on North Binness.
