09:37 Water level has unfortunately risen a little on the scrape, only 1 Common Sand, 3 Avocets and 1 Teal, Juvenile Coot on the pond to right of hide is a Haven year tick for me.1 Wheatear on greensward by Dell.

12:38 In the end 1 Green and up to 3 Common Sand on the Scrape, plus 3 Curlew and a juvenile Marsh Harrier. A few Swifts were moving through about 20 or so. A walk to the boardwalk didn’t add any interesting bird species, but did produce a Clouded Yellow Butterfly,1st of the year for me.(MR,PL).
