Dagenham Chase

 Went to The Chase this afternoon. A good number of warblers in full song include Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Sedge, and Reed Warbler. Brilliant to see a pair of the exotic-looking Mandarin Duck, shame they stayed slightly obscured by the vegetation. Two Red Kites circling high over heading north was good to see. The warm weather has brought out the butterflies Orange-tip, Peacock, Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell, and Small white.
