Fairly early arrival (for me!!) at Pulborough hoping for the Temminck's Stint but, despite myself and others looking, no sign today and no later reports on social media. One of the drake Garganeys was still on show although not nearly as close as the last two visits. Apart from two LRPs, three Ringed Plovers and a single Black'wit it was pretty quiet with recently seen Hobbies also a no-show.
Decamped to WWT for coffee and lunch. Caught up with Alex and Mike but everyone was struggling to find anything of interest. The male Peregrine on its usual perch, the male Marsh Harrier and the very red-legged Great White Egret were about it.
Andrena minutula group seen and a Sharp-angled Carpet sat up on a leaf but soon fluttered away.
This Common Spotted Orchid was one of four popping out.
(Phania funesta, Lindenius albilabris, faded Small Copper, Malachite Beetle, Dolichovespula media)
