What a difference a bit of weather makes! I called in at the mere briefly this morning and it was pretty quiet, just a handful of hirundines and Swifts, and a few warblers singing. This evening in the rain, the air was full of Swifts, Swallows and Martins, and best of all, the Little Ringed Plover was back. I haven't a clue where it's spending most of its day, the mere is far from suitable habitat even for a brief visit, but it seems to be enjoying its stay and keeps coming back for more!
Some of the woodlands at the mere have a fine display of Bluebells at the moment.
