Birds of note along the canal included blackcap, chiffchaff, grey heron and a coot family whilst on the scrape there was a nice selection of ducks and waders etc. These included redshank, curlew, lapwing, black tailed godwit,oyster catcher, gadwall, mallard, pintail, canada geese, black headed gulls, lesser black backed gulls, also a swallow. Sadly not the garganey I had hoped for.
On the butterfly front I saw brimstones, small tortoiseshell, orange tip and green veined white.
