The Dartford Warbler has recently been spotted quite often on the wader scrape here at WWT London. Typically it wouldn't be found here, but the recent hot summer and drought have seemed to provide an ideal habitat on the wader scrape that has plenty of tall vegetation cover on it.
Dragonflies: Common Darter, Migrant Hawker.
