Not often I'm in the right place at the right time but whilst stood on the Trent bank at Alkborough this morning I had a call to say that the warden at Blacktoft was watching a Honey Buzzard drifting over Reedness out to the estuary and yes there it was! Excellent scope views were had of this migratory rapture circling over the reserve for 3-4 minutes before drifting off out of view. Other than that it was a very quiet morning at Alkborough but did have 3 Hairy Dragonflies on the pond at the fresh water reed bed end.
Back at home the pond is hotting up with lots of egg laying newts and Common and Large Red Damsels on the wing this afternoon.
