As is usual at this time of year it was quiet on the bird front save for a fly through Peregrine which proved to be the highlight.
Butterflies on the wing today included Ringlet, Painted Lady, Red Admiral, Common Blue, Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown and Small Blue.
Dragonflies were thin in the air with only Azure Blue and Southern Hawker making an appearance, the Southern Hawker performed amazingly well resting on a Dock plant in full view.

A wide range of plants including Fleabane, Greater Willowherb, Red Bartsia, Wild Parsnip, Scentless Mayweed, and Scarlet Pimpernel.

I hope the small group of nine enjoyed the walk, July doesn't see the reserve at its best however there is always something to see.
