Nothing of note for me this morning bird wise, but 11 spieces of Butterfly wasn't bad (see haven Wildlife page).

 

Mon 6th June 22

The only thing of note this morning was 150+ Swift moving south under heavy cloud during my short visit.

On the scrape: 2 Redshank, 2 Oystercatcher, 2 Shelduck ducklings (no sign of any adults), 1 Mallard (with 2 ducklings), 2 Blk H Gull, 2 Herring Gull (nesting on the Tern Raft), Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler, 12+ Swallows. DW/MR

  

 

Sun 5th June 22

The scrape has finally run out of water, hopefully the promised rain may give us a little in the next couple of days, just one Redshank and 8 Blk. headed Gulls + a bonus Med Gull today.

Thurs 2nd June 22

Another lovely day, but little of note around the site bird wise, lots of butterflies around again and that may be the norm for a while now.

 

Wed 1st June 22

Better late than never, a Spotted Flycatcher seen this morning by Richard from the Raised Platform was a new bird for the year list.

A Fox walking across the scrape as we walked to the hide was not a good start and no sign of the Redshank chick all morning was a bit ominous, otherwise much the same, 4 Shelduck + (7 ducklings), 3 Mallard (+2 ducklings), 2 Redshank, 2 Oystercatchers, 7 Blk H Gulls, 1 Med Gull (over). 2 Buzzard, 1 Sparrowhawk, 1 Kestrel, a few Swallows, 2 Swift.
