13:16 Late morning at the haven, from the hide, a recently fledged brood of Cetti’s Warblers in front of the hide being very vocal, on the pond delightful views of a Kingfisher hovering a couple of metres above the water to then plunge in to the surface, a Mallard had brood of 10 small ducklings, still 10 Lapwing and a single Oystercatcher on the marsh. Sadly still no water on the scrape, but I gather wheels are in motion to get that rectified. On walk back to car, couple of Painted Lady Butterflies and a few Holly Blues, Meadow Browns and Small Heath. A few Emperor dragonflies on the wing now.

14:02 Quick visit to the Haven mid morning. 2 Curlew flew south along the hedge line at the back of the scrape, 15 Lapwing on the marsh including 2 fully grown juveniles, good to know at least a couple of Lapwings have survived to adulthood. A few Swifts were trickling through, heading south, probably a few non breeders leaving already. A few Meadow Browns and still lots of Small Heaths and many five spot Burnet moths in the grass north of the Pillbox.

15:50 Pyramidal Orchid at the Haven this afternoon, pretty close to where one was dug up a couple of years ago, let’s hope this one doesn’t suffer the same fate, although not holding my breath it is very close to the coast path.
