May 5th.
A glorious day and while sitting outside Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory this morning a Cattle Egret flew over. This is probably just the third record for the observatory.

A female Marsh Harrier did the same.

At last the warm weather has brought our some butterflies and Holly Blue, Large White and Green-veined White visited the garden. All first for the year.

A male Blackcap is still to be found on the fatballs. It must have been here for three weeks now. Unfortunately I have seen no females. Two Mistle Thrushes were about to fledge but I think they have been had by a Magpie. Very sad after all the work the parents put in.
