Hoggy Highlights

I have been away for a few days hence the lack of updates. However, on Friday (6 June 2014) I managed a visit to Hogganfield Park LNR.

It was good to see that one pair of Mute Swans had been successful ...............

 
The wildflowers were starting to flourish .............................
 

 
  .... and there were lots of 'white' butterflies, some 'blue' damselflies, two Four-spotted Chaser dragonflies and a few Large Red Damselflies (pictured) ....
 
 
In and around the marsh and scrub woodland ................
 
 
... I saw Treecreeper, Bullfinch, Reed Bunting, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Sedge Warbler (species number 58 for the year at Hogganfield - not bad considering there are no waders on the list).
 
In total, in just over 3 hours I recorded 37 different bird species - oh yes and it was SUNNY!
