Aside from an increasing in birds sing on territory, not much to report on birds. The bushes were quiet apart from a hunting Sparrowhawk, with three half grown Mallard chicks surviving on the Main Pond, having hidden away in flooded areas for a several weeks. Nothing to report from offshore or in the estuary on the low tide.
Other Wildlife: It was good day for insects in the spring sunshine with three Peacock butterflies, a Chocolate Mining Bee Andrena scotica, male and female Yellow-legged Mining Bee A. flavipes and the first worker Buff-tailed Bumblebee of the year were all nectaring on emerging spring flowers.
On the beach was the leaf beetle Prasocuris phellandrii, new for the Recording Area and the groundbug Trapezonotus arenarius. A Common Lizard was basking on the Golf Course.
