Merlin over The New Diggings
As I checked The New Diggings in vain for yesterdays Black-necked Grebes a Merlin dashed over me.
A walk around Dengemarsh this afternoon with CP saw and heard of note a Little Ringed Plover that dropped into hayfield 3 briefly, 2 booming Bitterns 1 of which gave a brief flight view, several Marsh Harriers, several Sedge Warblers, Bearded Tits, the usual wildfowl, but didn't see the Garganey and Water Pipit that have been hanging around though both were seen by others, the Black Swan seems to have relocated to Dengemarsh.
