Blackcaps singing around most of the site and lots of young birds but the ever changing weather is not good for man or beast.

Things much the same on the scrape with the addition of 2 Blk. H Gull chicks on the island and  3 Shelduck ducklings plus a few newly hatched Avocets

Quite amazing the number of Butterflies around shortly after the heavy rain including the first Small Skipper of the year (see Haven Wildlife page). PL/MR
