Hello
Yesterday (Friday) Eric and Nick Parker spent time at Thrapston Pits, locating a Hobby, an Oystercatcher and singles of Green and Common Sandpiper.
A number of observers spent time today at Fermyn Wood Country Park, Fermyn Wood itself and Lady's Wood too. There were plenty of butterflies on the wing but only a few individuals of Purple Emperor and White Admiral and they were generally elusive. Easier to see were plenty of Silver-washed Fritillaries and a considerable hatch of Purple Hairstreaks. Marbled Whites were in the Country Park and common species included plenty of Essex Skippers and Commas.
Dragonflies included Blue Emperor, Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker, Broad-bodied Chaser, Four Spotted Chaser and Ruddy Darter plus four species of damselfly.
Two Ravens were noted near Hollowell today and Ravensthorpe Reservoir this evening provided views of Grass Snakes, two family parties of Mute Swan and a brood of Tufted Duck.
Regards
Neil M
