In total, I encountered 43 bird species and 1 Roe Deer - not too bad but I was disappointed that there were no signs of any Sedge Warbler, dragonflies, damselflies or butterflies, one of the reasons for holding a June walk!
The next morning, 20 people turned up at the bird feeding/viewing platform at Hogganfield Park - a big thank you to all of you!
Although the bird total was slightly less, 41 species, I am pleased to say that everyone got excellent views of the key species - Common Buzzard, Reed Bunting, Common Whitethroat, Willow Warbler, Blackcap and, yes, Sedge Warbler!
We also got good views of Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Grey Herons (still on a nest!) and an out-of-season male Pochard
In addition, we saw 1 Roe Deer, Four-spotted Chaser dragonflies, Large Red Damselflies, Azure Damselflies (mating!), Small Heath, Orange Tip and Small White butterflies.
