Little Swift?

Spent most the day working on the Heligoland Trap. Although it looks finished there are some fiddly jobs left to be done, hopefully in the next couple of days it will fully operational. Work came to an abrupt halt with news of a Little Swift at The ARC Pit. We were on site in minutes but no sign of the Little Swift in the flock of c300 Common Swifts and a few House and Sand Martins, but a Bittern flew from the ARC to the Tower Pits.

Later this afternoon at the ARC Pit all the Swifts had dispersed, 2 Hobby's hawking round the tower, 1 Marsh Harrier, 2 little Ringed Plovers and from Hanson Hide Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers.
