After such a long run of mostly poor weather this year the first heatwave has arrived with temperatures looking to hit 30c in two days and no obvious relief in the following week. Sundays walk has been brought forward half an hour which might make it impractical for me.
Today was a catch up over coffee with K at SHP so no wildlife watching per se.
So three singing Firecrest, one Goldcrest, a few singing Blackcaps, two House Martins and a Red Kite overhead. A male Orange-tip in the Well Head was my first for a while and, with June around the corner, could possibly be my last of the year. A female Ectophasia crassipennis (Twist-winged Parasite Fly) was NfY and my first here so I popped it on irecord.
No time for photos nor a walk to the conservation area.
