May started well with a Yellow Wagtail(91) over on the first and later that day another Common Sandpiper dropped into the lake.

Last night a Nightingale was found singing at the Tennis Club in Maidstone Road.

This morning I was delighted to find a Turtle Dove(92)  purring in Kirkins and as I walked down past the farmhouse a Tree Pipit(93) went over calling.

Amazingly another two Common Sandpipers were on Furnace Pond.

Whilst working in the garden the first two Swifts(94) were circling over the house.

The sun has bought out the butterflies which has given photo opportunities:-
