As I arrived at the lake at 07:15, the dog walkers had got there just before, so all I saw of the Little egret was its yellow feet as it flew off over the golf course. This was my first record of this species here, but not unexpected as it's increasing in the UK.
Most flowering is over, but this is when Ivy flowers and the late insects swarm to its nectar and pollen.
I noted that the scars from last year's bonfires still had only a patchy cover of grass. Restoration after events seems to be deteriorating under the contract management.
