A few interesting birds about this weekend but the insects too are performing well with lots of damselfly species keeping the
Emperors well-fed! These
Small Red-eyeds were more abundant than ever. A nice
Wood Sandpiper found by Clive was distant but very welcome what with the lack of Greens just lately. Plenty of Commons and more
Dunlin about plus the odd
Whimbrel. On the gull front, we've had several
Meds and a lone
Common plus a brief
YLG juv. which I had from Tower hide on Saturday but which flew to Coronation Corner where others managed to twitch it. However, the stars were certainly the
2 juvenile Yellow-leggeds which were on show together from Tower hide on Sunday. I put the news out quickly so several photographers will have better pics than me but here goes anyway with my distant shots...

The top 2 pics are of the first bird and the bottom 2 of the second. The first bird was clearly smaller but is OK as bird 2 was massive - as big as the GBBs almost! Let's keep tabs on them and see just how many we can add to SW's initial bird last week, eh?
