A local singing Willow Warbler was nice to hear but I'm sure it won't stay long and, as yet, no Reed Warblers on the pond. One calling Swallow and a couple of calling Med Gulls overhead and the swans have seven cygnets.
EDIT The swans lost all seven within two days; presumably rats/foxes
Plenty of Nephrotoma appendiculata including this mating pair and a couple of sawflies below, Arge cyanocrocea and a Macrophya spp (ribis?).
Previous day saw little at SHP where the Lasioglossums by the footpath are now replaced with these cleptoparasitic Sphecodes spp.
