This morning broods of young Reed Warblers were much in evidence. Several of the Black-headed Gull and Common Tern chicks have fledged and were flying around the pits. There is a brood of Tufted Ducks for the second year running on the Slurry Lagoon. In the late morning a juvenile Marsh Harrier caused a stir amongst the gulls and ducks as it quartered the Slurry Lagoon. Both butterflies and dragonflies are putting on a good performance and the first Migrant Hawker of the year was seen. PS.

Juvenile Marsh Harrier – apologies for the poor quality. My camera was working at its limits. PS.
