While I was at the observatory a Serin flew over DW and myself appearing to be heading ftoward the station area, I spent some time checking the Linnets but no sign of the Serin again.

A wander around The Desert after the sea watch saw very little of note, the highlights being a Hobby that looked as if it had just come in off the sea, also the one eared Brown Hare appeared briefly before disappearing in the Broome.

A lovely White Wagtail the highlight of my walk around the reserve this evening
My walk this evening around the reserve in a stiff NE breeze was more a labour of love and hope, than anything else. A White Wagtail in the hay fields was a surprise, unlike the Yellow Wagtails, Corn Buntings, Marsh harriers, booming Bittern, Cuckoo, Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers, also present several each of Redshank and Ringed Plover. Burrowes held no surprises or waders, 20 Common Terns were noted there.
