I decided on a brief to the local ponds after work, sun was out, it would be more of a reccy visit to see how the area was after the winter period.
The birds took president, first with Willow Warbler then Song Thrush, Chiffchaff, and Whitethroat, being the most notable. The reason for my visit of course were the ponds and surrounding area, for Dragonflies, I was a bit dubious before my visit, due to the lack of management from last year, but the ponds looked good, so I’m hopeful of a good year.
The only Dragonfly/Damselfly showing today, after lots of searching, were a few Azure Damselflies.
Other birds noted today were Blackbird, Blackcap, Blue Tit, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Lapwing, Robin and Woodpigeon
Other highlight was a Thistle Tortoise Beetle
