Failing

I spent most of today touring some of the lanes and paths of Walland Marsh in search of my own Waxwing flock and failed miserably. However there were still 1000s of Fieldfare and Redwings along with a few Song and Mistle Thrushes in the fields and bushes being chased by Sparrowhawks and a Merlin, a Common Buzzard flew alongside the car and at least 36 Bewick Swans including 13 juveniles at Midley, 2 Black Swans further out on the marsh but no sign of the 2 Whooper Swans. At the feeders 16 Tree Sparrows and 14 Greenfinches and 2 Marsh Harriers over.
At Scotney little of note.
Late this afternoon I joined MH in his luxury Chelsea Tractor on the short drive to Hanson, but apart from a Great White Egret (there were 3 on New Diggings early morning) 2 Goldeneye and a Kingfisher flying straight past the hide(sill nowhere for it to perch and fish) little of note. We then went to Dennis's hide where another Great White Egret flew in and joined the common wildfowl. Moving on to Dengemarsh Hide up to 3 Marsh Harriers over the reed beds but little else unless you are into Coots.
