Langford Lake, Wiltshire - 11th July

My blog has been very much neglected this year due to a number of reasons, mainly as I have been working to get my eBird fully up to date with all of my lifetime observations - I now think I am more or less there and hope to start blogging once more.

I am going to start with working through some of my best birds of the summer. On 11th July I visited a site that I had driven past many times but had never visited, Langford Lake in Wiltshire. A female Red-footed Falcon had been present for a number of days, the bird did not disappoint as it showed well in Great Meadow and was actively catching Emperor Dragonfly and Black-tailed Skimmer. My eBird checklist for the morning can be seen here.
