Saturday 30th May

I did a butterfly survey in the afternoon, 26C, sunny and calm, but saw only two whites. a brimstone and a peacock. 

Part of the fencev by the long dog dip has  been destroyed and thrown into the canal.

A rail has been partly  removed from the fence  north of the council seat.

Surprisingly few people about: just two people with a dog,  a couple of bird watchers at the screen and two other birders who I passed on the permissive path.

The couple and I  watched a tern bring food to the raft.
