Jewel Wasp Hedychrum sp. photographed yesterday afternoon in the sun. 

Overnight showers and plenty of cloud cover made for a much cooler day. At least 19 Swift on the move and another Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker paid us a visit. Also 1 Grey Wagtail, 2 Sand Martin, 2 Swallow and 3 Whimbrel. A juvenile Med Gull too heading south with some adult birds on the sea - evidence of breeding likely not too far away.


The Sycamore failed to appear last year so it's good to get a couple today.



Ringing: 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Wren.
