| Peacock butterfly nectaring on Willow catkins.
In contrast to last month’s trip up north to Silverdale and Arnside on this occasion it was gloriously sunny. In fact, after 6 hrs in the sunshine I even managed to get slightly sunburnt. Great to see plenty of Peacocks, Small Tortoiseshells and some freshly emerged male Brimstones on the wing. |

| Newly arrived Avocets.
The bright sunshine even allowed an almost respectable digiscoped effort. |
Black tailed Godwits and a lone Avocet.
Another digiscoped effort. As per usual the Godwits were having a nap. |

| Avocets in a bit of a flap
In between feeding plenty of posturing, flapping of wings and courtship behaviour. I wonder where these ones over winter? Possibly the south coast or Holland. |
