Pyramidal Orchid has appeared in the fence at the Butt's pond. Just goes to show what can spring up in areas that don't get all the public footfall. In other news Curlew migration seemed to peak today as 90+ birds went South. Adult Black-headed Gulls also moving South tried to give the Curlew count a run for their money but petered out late morning at around 62 birds. Also of note 4 Barnacle Goose, 1 Grey Heron, 2 Lapwing, 1 Med Gull, 11 Sand Martin, 27 Swift and 2 Whimbrel.
