Whilst I was away in Scilly enjoying the spring sunshine the team added six valuable year ticks. Ringed Plover (with a Dunlin) (3/5) FP, Mediterrean Gull (6/5) FP, Osprey (6/5) CL, Little Egret (9/5) MC, Whimbrel (9/5) FP & Turnstone (11/5) FP. This takes us to a very pleasing 112 for the year.
I recorded our first three figure count of Swifts on 13/5. Butterfly count is now 11 with Small Heath the latest to emerge after Common Blue.
