Haddon's Pits NT

Been a bit quiet for me, of late, as May and perhaps spring closes out...The nice weather continues, though the lack of rain is surely concerning...
A pleasant walk and round trip to Haddon's Pits from Ventnor today. May have to pay that area more of a visit, especially this coming autumn; I've only been there a couple of times including the twitch of the Greenish Warbler (Sept '21). 
Bird-wise: couple of swifts, Bullfinch, Greenfinch, Whitethroat, chiffchaff etc. En route at least two singing Firecrest heard in Ventnor and Bonchurch.
