A very quick visit to Amwell at lunchtime to try to catch up with the reported Norfolk Hawkers and Scarce Chaser (or Chasers?). When I arrived I met people who had been looking for several hours, with only one possible and brief view of two Norfolk Hawkers, apparently driven off by Emperors. I wasn’t hopeful, and did indeed fail on the Norfolk Hawkers, but did manage a male Scarce Chaser; these are only the first records of both species in Hertfordshire.
Earlier in the day, a Red Kite circled over Foxton, viewable from my office window.
