Thurs 8th Aug 24

Quiet for Richard first thing on his walk around the bushes but things were a bit better on our walk to the hide with the bushes behind the sluice holding a mixed tit flock containing at least 3 Chiffchaff & 2 Willow Warbler along with Common & Lesser Whitethroat & Blackcap.

All much the same on the scrape today with the interesting stuff as Liz Huxley's report below, plus a year first Jersey Tiger on the way back, great stuff.

Reports from today:
