The weather from Monday returned to the usual grey and grim and the flurry of butterflies vanished. A Blackcap, presumably new in, was sub-singing, a Kingfisher flashed past and both harriers drifted down river but a Water Vole on the dipping pond, first for year, was easily the highlight and this Marsh Marigold above the brightest.
One last visit to TH with Mum before the inevitable closure was very quiet as the above two photos show with just this Redshank in the harbour, some heard-only Avocets and a smart, clean-looking adult Yellow-legged Gull on the beach.
