Very hot and not a lot

I did make it down for 20 minutes yesterday in an 'always going to fail' hope to see a harrier sp flying around LFGP, after Richard saw one with white rump, fly over Sandford and chased off North by Black-headed Gulls.

A visit to LFGP today, brought 1 Redshank, usual Lapwings, no sign of Common Sandpiper reported at 08:30, 1 Little Egret, 6-10 House Martin, Great Crested Grebe still with 4 eggs, lots of LBB and H Gulls and blue ringed Black-headed Gull, which was just too far to be 100% sure on the numbers, but we think XYAY, we are pretty sure X is right and A is right, but the 'Y's could be 9's?

Sadly we have another neighbour who in my opinion must go down as nature hater of the week, on arrival about 70 yards beyond the green bridge, the last garden had an excavator finishing off a total devastation of the river bank and all the Northern edge of their land and area that was very wild prior to today.

As if in defiance the lady of the house sat near the river, looking stuck up, what an incredible world we live in now, everywhere we look now so many people are too ignorant to give a damned thing about wildlife habitats! I guess we should think it lucky they did it now and not in April, May or June like the other idiots 2-3 doors downstream.
