Not a great weekend with cool, showery and windy days sandwiching another
massive deluge on Saturday night.
There is very little new to report. A
Grey Wagtail was seen from the hide on Saturday morning and there are now two
Common
Terns using the tern raft in front of the second screen.
I saw at least five
Turtle Doves on Sunday. With patience they can be seen on the stock corral,
sometimes feeding on the ground. We are putting down a fine seed mix for finches
and buntings there and there is obviously something in the mixture that they
like. On Sunday a male
Peregrine was patrolling over Ashgrave and The
Closes.
It was difficult to see many Dragonflies or Butterflies while I was
down there, as the weather was not at its best for flying, but it was possible
to find several
Grass snakes basking in the car park field whenever the sun did
come out. Surely summer must happen soon.
