The first few days of the month have seen a few more summer migrants around the patch with the first few Common and Little Terns passing by, and a number of Lesser Whitethroats now back on territory. Also a few Bar-tailed Godwits have also been noted passing through with these being part of the large numbers that are currently passing through the country at the moment.
A walk down to the lake at Felbrigg today produced the first Common Sandpiper of the year, a Marsh Harrier over heading south, and a couple of Reed Warblers were singing in the reedbed along with the Sedge Warbler.
A few more Common Blue Damselflies have emerged, one pictured below having lunch, and on the butterfly front the first few Green-veined Whites of the spring were noted too.
