Strong north westerlies moved slowly to easterlies. Morning was similar to previous, though the buzzard made his way strongly across the river to Essex, pursued by all the local corvids. A tree pipit up at the point was considered to be the same bird as seen on Sunday. 

A broad bodied chaser had freshly emerged from the observatory pond and a four-spotted chaser was seen around the car park. It's finally dragonfly season.

It's also finally hawkmoth season, with our first, this Poplar Hawkmoth, being one of the most common here, as we have plenty of its food tree.
