Pair of Garganey on the ARC today
With the return of winter this morning I went to Hanson Hide first thing rather than stare at an empty sea, a pair of Garganey were a nice surprise, also 4 Avocet, an LRP, 3 Turnstone and a handful of Common Terns. High over the lake were 100s of Swifts, Swallows, House and Sand Martins with a couple of Hobbys for company. A White Stork toured the peninsula but remained unseen by me.
10 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits & 2 Redshank at Hayfield 1 today
The walk to the hayfields was accompanied by the singing of lots of Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers, Common and Lesser Whitethroats also Reed Buntings, Cuckoo, Bearded Tits and Bittern. At the hayfields were the Godwits and Redshank along with 4 Avocets and 4 Ringed Plovers, the resident Lapwings and 7 Cattle Egrets. An afternoon visit to Burrowes saw 2 Sanderling, 3 Dunlin and 4 Grey Plover.
