Very quiet again on site again, 2 Wheatear on the reserve and 4 Willow Warblers in the bushes were the highlights. Southerly passage included 72 Swallows, 10 Sand Martins, 4 House Martins and single Swift, Tree Pipit & Grey Wagtail.

A Wild Pear, a fairly rare tree, that was first noted on site in 1986 has a good crop this year although the fruit does not taste all that pleasant.

Ringing; 2 Willow Warbler, 1 Whitethroat.
