(Four-spotted Chaser emerging, two Azure Damselflies)
The above dragonfly was emerging at Fattengates raised pond. Several other exuviiae were obvious and both Azure and Large Red Damselflies were ovipositing.
A few waders, notably Greenshank (4+) and Ruff but no (obvious) LRPs today.
Only four Nightingales heard, presumably now more concerned with raising young.
From the tea terrace my first Garden Warbler of the year was singing.
Best birds today were at least five Hobbys mostly distant and hunting over the river but with one making some close passes of Winpenny pool.
Highlight of the days was provided by two very noisy and rumbustious Weasels which rocketed out just feet away by the raised 'Adder bench' and rolled and tumbled before barrelling off across the field.
