Just a quick post to record that today we had a Red Admiral in the garden. This is of no particular significance except that this time next year it is good to check what has been seen to make a comparison. Birds have included Collared Dove, Dunnock, Blackbird, Goldfinch and Blue Tit as well as a small group, (hardly a flock) of House Sparrows. in addition a Magpie was in the Apple Tree.

The weather has been bright and sunny all day. I tried, both at dawn and this late afternoon, to see a Kingfisher from the hide but unfortunately he was a no show today which was a shame as the weather was ideal.
