As my car was in for service today I took the bus to Northpoint GP and walked up to the golf course to see some Orchids, unfortunately the Lizard Orchids were more or less finished, the Bee Orchids were completely burnt, but at least the Pyramidal Orchids added a splash of colour, as did the many Marbled Whites and Skippers. I stupidly decided to walk back home, between Jurys Gap and the sand pit 3-4 pairs of Yellow Wagtails were the highlight. At Scotney the Cape Shelduck was still present with the hordes of Egyptian Geese, at least 100 Sand Martins were hawking over the main lake.
