Highlights today
25th August 2006, FridayThe main highlight today was a Great White Egret at Castle Water, it was last seen in flight heading towards the viewpoint, but was lost from view, so not sure if it landed. Also at Castle Water, Garganey, Greenshank and 2 Spotted Flycatcher. Many insects were enjoying the return of the sun, Clouded Yellow, Small Heath, Red Admiral and Small Tortoiseshell were the pick of the butterflies, hundreds of Migrant Hawker are now on the wing within the SSSI. At Ternery Pool a colour ringed (SL above right knee) immature Herring Gull (pictured) was of interest, and a Humming-bird Hawk-moth was at Parkes hide.
