15th - 16th May

Surveying in Staffordshire again where a little look at Blithfield Reservoir in the evening of the 15th produced a single drake Common Scoter and lots of low flying Swifts; between surveys on the 16th birds during a pleasant walk on Cannock Chase included 3 Hobbies, plenty of singing Tree Pipits and Stonechats feeding fledglings while good numbers of Green Hairstreaks and a few Green Tiger Beetles were a nice distraction.
