My Spotted Flycatcher is still in the neighbouring gardens and calling occasionally, I was hoping to spend some time looking for it after work but Alan Shorrock put a stop to those plans. For the second year running he has managed to find a Southern Migrant Hawker at Priors Hall and he was good enough to come back to Corby and take me there so that I could see it too.

| Southern Migrant Hawker |
It's not at the pond in the Southern Gullet where last year's ones were, that pond is totally dry and almost devoid of odes. This year's star is present on a pond just off the newish road which serves the northern part of the latest stage of development. I didn't get there until after six this evening and was worried that the dragon may have already hung up to roost somewhere. Such negative thoughts were happily misplaced as the SMH showed well as it patrolled its territory and was also obliging enough to perch on occasions. We didn't stay for long but will most likely pay another call in the near future. This evening news came through from Eyebrook that a moulting White-winged Black Tern is present, I'm probably not the only person hoping that it hangs around until tomorrow evening!
