There were 6 Black tailed Godwits at Ty Gwyn pools this afternoon with excellent views from the far hide.(+ 3 turkeys!!). I saw 1 Little Ringed Plover but it was so hot in the hide nearest the road that I didn't stay long.
7 species of butterfly in the wood. Lots of Ringlets and Meadow Browns.
A Marsh Fritillary on a Lesser Butterfly Orchid in fields near my house was a rather special sighting. There were quite a number of Marsh fritillaries as well as a few Small Pearl Bordered. Altogether 11 different butterflies today. It seems like a good year.
