We are now into the quite time of the year at New Hythe bird wise and our attention is now drawn more towards dragonflies and butterflies.Having said that the next few months will be a busy one for the ringers,with all the new young of the year on the wing.
During the week Terry had four Med Gulls pass through,along with a Cuckoo,Dragonflies included 3 Lesser Emperor and 2 Norfolk Hawker and butterflies included 2 Ringlets.
In the East scrub 20 or more Bee orchid were found.

During the morning of the 23rd,Jerry heard a singing FIRECREST in the wood near to the rangers office (first summer record for New Hythe).Being close by I manage to see it along with Terry.We all then went to try and see a GOLDEN RINGED DRAGONFLY that had been seen the day before along Lunsford stream but were unsuccessful.
