Couple of hours at WC before the rain came. The first birds I came across was a couple of Spotted Flycatchers taking food into a nest to feed their young. Also seen. Lots of Willow Warblers, mostly young. Stonechats flitting around with juveniles. juvenile Robin. Goldfinch. Swallows. A group of Ravens. Mallards. Coots. Moorhens. Blackbirds and a pair of Nuthatch going in and out of a tree hole.

Also 2 Rabbits near the cricket field and 1 Pipistrelle Bat out in full daylight at 8.30 feeding along the trees next to the Goit.

Fungi - small group of Vermillion Waxcap and a large group of boletes under an oak tree, difficult to identify but possibly Xerocomus cisalpinus.
