Wednesday July 24th
Well that was a storm and a half through the night, thunderclaps overhead were deafening, BUT it is still oh so warm this morning, only had a short walkabout this morning and it was really muggy, everything as normal on the pool, lots of butterflies about but not many hovers.
A walk later on was much about the same as the morning, must say that I have seen so many Peacock butterflies the past few days, along with the usuals of cours.
Tuesday July 23rd
Warm from the word go, couple of walkabouts before lunch, but oh so hot.
Didn't see a lot, everything already so dry.
The young GC Grebes are still doing well, not many hovers about, but think it's too warm for them, not even a grass snake to be seen.
Lots of gulls over the pool but no sign of the kingfisher.

Partial cloud but oh so warm.
What a day, 3 sightings of the Kingfisher this morning and one this evening just after the sun went down, so happy as watching the bird flying low over the pool is amazing.
Few hovers about, heron on the pool but it didn't stay long.
The GC Grebes are doing very well and growing very fast.
