I had a very brief visit to the northern section of the site after the heavy early morning rain subsided and before the afternoon showers started.
I was able to add 3 butterfly species to my 2026 site list: Common Blue (1), Large Skipper (1), Meadow Brown (3)
The notable bird records during my visit were as follows ….
Lesser Whitethroat: 1 male singing intermittently in the northern section of the site
Blackcap: at least 2 singing males heard in the northern section of the site but none seen
Chiffchaff: singing male seen in the northern section of the site and 2 other singing males heard
