Went down on the 10th but was dismayed to see dogs everywhere so had a quick walk yesterday, the 11th. At least 6 young wheatears, one stonechat, one whitethroat, buzzard, kite, kestrel and raven. A small group of sand martins over the river and a large shoal of mullet splashing around. Lots of common blues and painted lady butterflies. A perfect warm, sunny morning, and no dogs. My mums garden in penparcau still has the g s wood and juv jays coming to the feeders, also a nice comma on the buddlea.
