This weekend has been very hot indeed - quite a contrast from the hard frost of only ten days ago - temperatures in the 30s and bright blue skies all weekend.
Trevor Valentine and I wandered along the Maxey Cut on Saturday morning, seeing all the usual suspects, plus one banded demoiselle, my first of the year and a red kite gently drifting north eastwards. The pair of avocets were at Etton-Maxey.
Sunday was pretty much too hot to go out and about, so Henry didn't get his walk until nearly 8pm. But we wandered along and across the Maxey Cut, taking advantage of the new gravel riff near the Helpston Road bridge to paddle in the cool water! Terns were fishing along the Cut, there were 7 on the Martin pit, with 2 oystercatcher and 2 shelduck.
Two corn buntings were singing as we walked along - one near the road and the other by Martin Pit.
