Thurs 6th Mar 25

A beautiful morning meant that most of the southern end of the site was covered but still very quiet, a Lt. Egret on the approach road marsh, a singing Song Thrush, 2 Greenfinch and a Cetti's Warbler in the Dell was about it. A bonus in the Dell was our first Brimstone butterfly of the year.
