Went while sun was shining to check the dragonflies:
Black-tailed skimmer m & f on main pond
Four-spotted chaser at least 10, most on no swimming pond
Broad-bodied chaser 4 (1f) on new small ponds (west sise of western marsh)
Mute
The female from the main pond is now on the "no swimming" pond with 5 of the original 7 young.
The pair from the "no swimming" pond now occupy the main pond, but have acquired an additional chick, and now also have 5. The ousted male is still beside the main pond.
Gadwall 3
Cetti's warbler
None singing today, hopefully all busy. There have been four territories confirmed this year.
Harbour area - evening
Rock pipit - one adult still hanging around, but no evidence that any of the young survived.
No sign of long staying Guillemot, but it has gone awol before.
