Its quiet on the patch

one lone Lapwing foraging on it own, no sign  of a sitting female about.

There isn't a great deal of activity on the patch at the moment, Mallard with young, Moorhen, but not seen any young as yet. Even the Coot seem to have deserted us this season. As regards warblers, well; Whitethroat 7 seen or heard,  1 Blackcap seen, no sign of Sedge Warbler so far, but have been getting poor reports from other parts of the country.

 Came across this happy little Goldfinch singing its head off, so possibly a female sitting close by.

 

Lots of Lady's Smock, some times called Cuckoo Flower, also seems to be a good food sauce for insects and butterflies. this one has a Hover fly on it.

And further along the path another one with Hover fly and Green-veined White,

Green-veined White, probably first brood male, second brood tend to have small black spot on wing.

Taking a third photo and managed to get a blurred hover fly coming in to land, a faster shutter speed may have stopped its motion.
