A midsummer lull to proceedings, but it is far from quiet with Blackcap, Cirl Bunting and Whitethroat all still in good voice, whilst a juvenile Little Grebe remains at the Main Pond, Stonechat are feeding second broods, and fledged Greenfinch and Goldfinch explore the site.
Wildlife News: The late afternoon sun saw many insects on the wing,including another new species for the Recording Area in the form of a Yellow-legged Black Pachygaster leachii, a small soldierfly, around the Cuckoo's Nest.
