Summer?


18 July - at last, blue sky and sun, almost like July... a quick visit to CWP after work produced a Nightingale and Kingfisher (in flight) at Swillbrook 46/48. Pit 95 held a flock of 15 Curlew that flew off, and 3 Little Egrets, one of which posed for the 300mm lens. Few dragonflies, just a couple of Brown Hawkers at Swillbrook.

The last few weeks have been very quiet, almost continuous rain reducing birding opportunities. I managed a quick evening visit to Tidenham Chase, Forest of Dean, on 11 July and had good views of a Nightjar churring and in flight. Hobbies have been more in evidence last week or two - feeding young now?
