Very warm at the Haven this morning and very busy in the carpark by lunchtime. 
All the summer residents were busy feeding young, a few Butterflies, Damselflies and Dragonflies were around the site but quite quiet on the whole.

From the hide : 24 Avocet (20 + 3 + 1), 1 Redshank, 2 Lapwing, 2 Oystercatchers, 4 Canada geese (2 + 2), 8+ Mallard, quite a few Swallows & Swifts over the arable, 1 Grey Heron, 1 Lt. Egret, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler.

The walk round the marsh from the sluice to the wooden hide added a few more Reed & Sedge Warblers, Reed Bunting, Linnet, Mippit's, Goldfinch, Blackcap, Whitethroat & Lesser Whitethroat.
