Today, I visited the reserve from 12:30 p.m. for the monthly work party.
However, it also proved to be very successful in enabling me to add a first site record, namely Small Heath, and 3 new records for 2025, namely Holly Blue, Azure Damselfly and Edible Frog (single records of each).

In addition, I saw at least c.5 Orange Tips and c.5 Speckled Woods and heard several singing male Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps.
