Wednesday 29/04/2020

No great change today with all the resident birds singing and displaying, the Bitterns in particular were very vocal this morning, Hirundine numbers are picking up and Common Terns are definitely increasing.
 As is usual this pair of Yellow Wagtails greet me more or less as soon as I leave home each morning

The same bird this morning
Surprise of the day was this Fieldfare early morning at Dengemarsh (heavily cropped image)
 There are still at least 3 Garganey around, but they are becoming very illusive

Good numbers of Redshank seem to be attempting to breed around Dengemarsh
Very small numbers of Bar-tailed Godwits and Whimbrel around today
 At least 6 Cuckoos were around Dengemarsh today

 Late morning at least 30 Swifts appeared over Dengemarsh
