Saturday

I tried an earlier start to my Saturday but there was very little to see. A walk along the front of the power station was brightened by at least 7 Clouded Yellow butterflies and several plants before the threatening clouds suggested retreat.








We spent some time at the boats, during which time it poured down, stopped at the south end of ARC where there were a few Ruff among the Lapwings and then drove round to the reserve, where the water levels are dropping to give some nice looking islands and shallow edges.
We drove up to Scotney but there wasn't much around so, as the ranges were open for the weekend we drove down to the end. There were at least 3 Whinchats and a couple of Stonechats plus a few Curlew dotted about.
