Over the weekend, I went back to Kalmthout Heath, which was full of singing Tree Pipits and Willow Warblers, with the occasional Common Redstart and quite a few Spotted Flycatchers. Small Heath (above), Green Hairstreak and Brimstone were the only butterflies we saw, and we ended the day with a pair of Hobby sitting in the lakeside trees, waiting for the drizzle to stop. I found another Spotted Flycatcher today, but this time in Brussels and on my regular patch, where I've not seen it before. Baby Coots were everywhere;
I also saw my first damselflies of the year; one Azure Bluet and a couple of Large Red tandems, one of which posed nicely amongst the daisies.
