I walked the site with Pete Loud and Matt Lonsdale this morning, but between us we couldn't turn up anything special, lots of the resident birds carrying food. The pair of Stonechat were on the bushes along side the brook behind the sluice again today.

From the Hide :- 42 Shelduck (34 + 8 ducklings), 4 Gadwall, 10 Avocet, 8 Lapwing (4 + 4 Chicks), 6 Redshank, 4 Com. Sandpipers, 1 Dunlin, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Buzzard.

The walk to the 3rd pillbox added a few Reed Bunting, Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler & Mippits.

A few Butterflies were seen incl. Red Admiral, Green Hairstreak & Brown Argus + 2 Hairy Dragonflies (see Haven Wildlife page).
