Despite again being present early morning, the Red-rumped Swallow had moved on before I arrived this morning, but my first House Martins of the year were present over the lake amongst the Sand Martins and a few Swallows.
With the meadow to the north-west of the lake sheltered from the wind, I was pleased to find my first Green-veined Whites and Orange-Tips of the year on the wing, with some of the latter proving particularly photogenic.
