Late afternoon: Started well when the Grasshopper Warbler was eventually seen, and got better when I stumbled upon a Fox set with a female and three young cubs.
After watching for a while and taking a few photographs, I went back to collect the family. Unfortunately they had gone back into the den by the time we arrived and then a huge rain shower descended. Sheltering in the Reedbed hide we saw three Pochards (two male) and then retried for the foxes once it had blown over. Whilst waiting I went to investigate a reported Firecrest and although almost certainly hearing it, could not find it. A couple of Buzzards were also noted.
I also snapped a few pictures of a Robin, whilst Tom took some of a young Song Thrush…
