Sunday June 29th – Chettisham Meadow, Cambridgeshire
Sore head but after a late breakfast Chris departed and the rest of us headed off to Chettisham Meadow, an LNR that Mick Gillett had unearthed. The butterfly Marbled White was the target and we were not disappointed. Brilliant views in what appeared to be cracking, insect rich meadow. It would have been nice to have spent some more time here but we had to be off to the next port of call
Sunday June 29th – Ouse Washes (Welches Dam), Cambridgeshire
As we were in the area we decided to swing in. We added Tree Sparrow, Gadwall and Little Egret to the list but little else besides. The whole area has been submerged since the May Bank Holiday so little potential for waders or the like. Red Eyed Damselfly was a tick for us dragon and damselfly dudes.
Sunday June 29th – Eyebrook Reservoir, Leicestershire
Shelduck and Teal were new as was a fabulously plumaged Black Tailed Godwit. The weekend was over but we had a belter with all the Breckland stuff and some good insects to boot. Final tally was something in the region of 86 species. Thanks to Andy for driving me around for the weekend. Wonder what to do for my 50th………..
