The sun came out and suddenly it was summer. The beautiful, clear water of the ditch network opposite the church had lots of odonata activity, with Beautiful Demoiselle, Blue-tailed Damselfly, Emperor Dragonfly, Broad-bodied Chaser and several other species.
A Cuckoo startled some Woodpigeon then began to call. Overhead were Swift, Swallow, House Martin, Buzzard and Sparrowhawk. Heron hunted in the ditches. Sedge, Reed and Cettis Warbllers called fromm the reeds with Reed Bunting.
Nearly best of all were a pair of Yellowhammer, with the male in splendid plumage.
