May 16th

Cold and wet this morning where has the sun gone with temperature's in mid 20s yesterday cloudy and cooler today. Just a note the party we took around on Sundays bird walk the nest of Long-tailed Tits fledged the very next day , with nine youngster's all lined up along the gorse. This morning only birds worth noting were Reed Warbler and Garden Warbler it's all gone very quite. Mark just texted to say while he was having a break he saw two Greylag Geese fly over and a Reed Bunting singing away. These next few months are when I don't tend to go down to much as the public decend on the mere and all wildlife disappears . But having said that some good birds can turn up end of May there's always a chance of a Tern passing through or a Common Scoter being blown off course , or another Scaup paying us a visit. I now turn my attention to Butterflies , Dragonflies and Moths for the next few months , so stay with the blog it will not get updated as regular , but I will put on as and when. August onwards will be the next main bird news when we start to get reverse migration .
