Pleasantly warm out of the breeze. First 2 Spotted flycatcher and a couple of new blackcap. Numerous Painted Lady with around a dozen on my wanders, just a couple of whites the only other butterflies. A few dunlin appearing on the muddy banks 7 tonight, a ringed plover and a couple of whimbrel. The male lapwing still on station. Gadwall 4m, shoveler 2m, teal 1m, 3 shelduck. 15 coot but no sign of young just yet, can't be long. Presumably a family group of 5 raucous raven tumbling overhead. 21 chough, inc a flock of 12.
