Reserves update

A Black Tern was seen feeding over the Trimley reservoir, circa 70 Black-headed Gulls are nesting on the rafts and there was also a pair of mediterranean Gulls.  Other noteable observations today included c50 Swifts, 5 Cetti's Warbler territories and a pair of Yellow Wagtails, which are nesting.

Green Hairstreak butterflies and a Hairy Dragonfly were also seen.

TRIMLEY OPEN DAY SUNDAY MAY 8th - 10am to 4pm - free minibus shuttle from the Searson's Farm car park and the Visitor Centre - Refreshments available.

A Song Thrush at Newbourne Springs was cheerfully singing but this long dry spell is making it very difficult for adult birds to find food to feed chicks in the nest. This dry spell will have an adverse effect on chick survival.
