After a disappointing start to a walk around Murton with no sightings of the insects I'd expected, the sun just about broke through and I first spotted Cinnabar Moths including a very pale one which I think may be one newly hatched? Further round my clockwise route were Common Blue Damselflies including some new females which hadn't achieved their full colour.
The trees and scrub which has now grown are supporting a number of nesting birds including, Willow Warbler, Song Thrush and Reed Bunting.
At the furthest pond the Mute Swans have managed to raise seven cygnets so far probably due to the control of foxes in the reserve.
