Visited the lakes during the late afternoon. Saw 6 Common Terns from the causeway, and noted that just 1 Mute Swan appeared to be at Engine Pool. Undoubtedly, the highlight was seeing 3 Great Crested Grebe chicks with their parents.

P.S. Have had 8+ butterfly species visit my garden during the last few days, which is really nice to see. Only saw a Speckled Wood today; but had 2 Painted Lady, a Small Tortoiseshell, 2 or 3 Red Admiral, 2 Comma, 2 Gatekeeper, a Peacock and a few unidentified whites all on the 28th.

If that garden's like mine, you should see a number of Painted Lady next time you're there.
