Tues 7th July 26

Another very warm day, and a late start for me. Lots of butterflies on the way to the hide but I didn't see the Marbled White seen by Richard a bit earlier.

From the hide: 39 Blk H Gulls, 2 Med Gulls, 23 Lapwing (incl a large chick), 2 Oystercatcher (+2 Chicks), a few Sand Martin & Swallows.

Reports from today

10:53 It’s amazing how few reports of Barn Owl have been recorded over the last couple of months from the Haven, yet there are five well developed youngsters in the owl box in line from the Hide.
