Scarce Emerald at the Butts Pond.

Southbound 36 Black-headed Gull, 5 Med Gull, 5 Sand Martin, 3 Gadwal & 2 Swift with northbound 4 Swift & Oyk. Fair number of baby birds on site plus a juvenile dispersing Chiffchaff that may have come from no further away than Langer Park. A dozen Red-legged Partridge chicks following an adult were the first seen for several years so we will see how many survive.

Cream-bordered Green Pea is only occasional here as it lives on Sallows & Willows, which we don't have, so those that turn up here here will be wanderers or immigrants.

Ringing: 13 Linnet, 5 Starling, 3 Goldfinch, 3 Wren, 2 Blackbird, 2 Dunnock, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Pied Wagtail.
