Me and Jack visit the Ingrebourne Valley last night and help the locals find some birds, a single Greenshank and 6 Green sandpipers are seen from the viewing area and already Teal and Lapwing numbers are increasing, and a nice surprise of 3 juvenile Garganey that flew into view and fed amongst several Gadwall.

Also good numbers of Purple Hairstreak butterfly's on the wing.
