An influx of Little Egrets onto the Hayfields today
A wander around the hay fields with Colin and Richard in gloomy conditions saw 2 Corn Buntings at Springfield Bridge, a Great White Egret and probably the 2 Water Pipits in Denge Marsh Flood, on hayfield 3 c10 Common Snipe, 2 Pintail and the Ibis of any note, several Bearded Tits were seen in the reeds and Bittern was heard briefly but it generally very quiet.
This afternoon in hindsight a wander around the Scotney sand pit was probably a mistake, visibility was very poor in the mist, the wind had picked up and it was cold, apart from mewing Mediterranean Gulls little was seen.
