Castle Water

23rd June 2009, Tuesday

Highlights from Castle Water yesterday Bittern, 5 Little Ringed Plover, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank and 4 Hobby. Butterflies on the wing included Large and Small Skipper, Small Tortoiseshell, Small Heath and Common Blue. Also of interest a huge patch of flowering Biting Stonecrop (Sedum acre) attracted good numbers of Red-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius).
