Spot' Fly' in Foxton

Foxton mega: Only my second ever Spotted Flycatcher found this evening along Hoffer Brook. Also saw the Fowlmere male Marsh Harrier, and a Hobby (flying into trees at top of Rowley's Hill - interesting).

Lunchtime in Cambridge produced the year's first Dragonfly: A very brief and unidentified Damselfly species.
