Start of a new month and little change, still fully blue skies but slightly hazy and a couple of degrees  cooler. A Little Egret was preening (above) with frisky Mallards and bathing gulls. Also a typical 'not-quite-there-yet' Black-headed Gull. Warm enough again to bring out basking terrapins.

The gull loaf was a little larger today and included a scruffy Med Gull, but still a year tick, and at the same time two Buzzards flew into the taller trees harassed by gulls.

A couple of Buff-tailed Bees were on the Gorse and a single male Hairy-foot was sunbathing on the ground but no sign yet of Bee Flies.
