Sunday 10th July 2011

Odd sort of morning. A juv Med Gull following an adult seems early as no sign of any other baby seagulls out and about just yet. A juv Marsh Harrier went south - its parents must have evicted it already. A juv Black Redstart suggests a pair might be nesting in the docks. A juv Wheatear is our second of the "autumn". A pair of Avocets were flying round displaying late morning - lord only knows what they were up to. Finally a Willow Emerald Damselfly is only our fourth ever record of this species that has recently colonised this part of the world. Weird selection of records today !
