(just) LANDGUARD - 20th July

 After a quiet morning at Landguard where the overdue fledgling Whitethroat of the year found the nets and a Yellow Wagtail flew over I drove back to Shropshire for my second jab.   

Look at a very hot Chelmarsh late afternoon produced 2 Common Terns, 2 Common Sandpipers, 4 Herons, a Grey Wagtail and at least 5 Yellow Wagtails gathering around the dam with 31+ Pied Wagtails.   Also of note and great to see were seemingly good numbers of Butterflies, especially Meadow Browns, Gatekeepers and Ringlets with a single Marbled White on the dam – I can’t recall seeing them in Shropshire before, although I haven’t really been there at this time of year for ages!



Nuthatch



Common Tern (taken the other day at Trimley but they looked pretty similar to the ones at Chelmarsh!)
