Another warm sunny morning; the Snape marshes were full of bird song from a variety of summer migrants. In addition to the usual songs from finches, larks and thrushes there were rich powerful songs from three Nightingales, the vigorous warble and jerky song from at least ten Whitethroats, plus Sedge and reed Warblers, Chiffchaff and Blackcap.
Two Green Hairstreaks were seen on flowering Hoary Cress and Small Copper butterflies were plentiful.
The Snape volunteers were again working on the heath pulling bracken.
