An afternoon walk in Regents Park.
Amazingly hot weather and everything (me included0 was trying to keep in the shade. Consequently not much bird activity. Highlight of the day was a number of Brown Hawkers in the Wetland Pen (a year tick). Brown Hawker is one of the easiest Dragonflies to identify as in flight it appears totally brown and it is the only Dragonfly (in UK at least) with brown Wings. Also good numbers of Speckled Wood Butterflies on the wing.
