Pretty quiet bird-wise this morning although plenty of common birdsong – Wrens, Robins, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Blackcap, Common Whitethroat, Cetti’s Warbler, Reed Warbler. A pair of Mute Swans with a nest on W lake, Coots and Moorhens with young and a Moorhen sitting at the dipping pond [photo]. There were 5 Great Crested Grebes but the only nest I was aware of seems to have flooded out – not unusual. The insect is a nomad Bee [one of three species which are v difficult to ID from a photo apparently].
