Whilst on a lunchtime walk this week, Andy M spotted several Black-tailed Skimmers resting on the edge of the lake, as well as Common-Blue Damselfly and many Ringlet butterflies in the meadow near the sluice. Finally, at the river's edge an adult Grey Wagtail was seen feeding a fledged youngster. The young Grey Herons have now left the nest (photograph from 14th May).
