Spent a lovely day basking in the sun(dare I say it was too hot for me!) at Messingham yesterday but as one of lifes worriers I spent an hour peering over the reserve boundary watching a digger perilously close to a very active Sand Martin colony of around one hundred nests which you should be able to make out on the first image. I'm assured that the company are only too well aware of the law but if the sand bank is gone on my next visit........... anyway also bumped into the reserve warden who was doing a bit of pond clearing(dipping) and pulled no end of dragonfly larvae out - not sure what they were but Four-spotted Chasers were active in the area.
