A very atmospheric start to the
day. The Great Skua remained and another Brent Goose dropped in briefly –
juvenile this time but both were not very photogenic. Also noted were Kingfisher,
Little Egret, 4 Gadwall, 3 Pochard, 2 Grey Wagtail, Raven while biggen bay had
a patrolling Peregrine. Missed the Ringed Plover.

There had been a few mipits
and Skylarks going down the valley but hardly any were seen from Napton on the
Hill, plenty of Red Admirals seen – with 9 counted. Napton Reservoir had 8
Shoveler, 2 Teal and 3 Snipe while butterflies included Brimstone, Speckled
Wood, Large White and 5 Red Admiral. Another Brimstone was at the old Napton
and Stockton Railway Station.
