25c humid.
Not so much the birdlife on show today but the insects. Back Brook is alive with Dragonflies while Damselflies favour the river itself. Butterflies attracted to the nettles and thistles along the banking include some very pristine Marbled Whites.
As for the birds, the Sandmartin colony is thriving and while no sign of waders, bar two Lapwing, seven Grey Heron, two Little Egrets and a dozen Black Headed Gulls added some colour, monotone though it was. Over the bridge at ‘Three Woodpecker Corner’ a Skylark was seen and heard. Not that common a sight in the valley.
