Some of the many House Martins and Swallows that were around this morning
Chiffchaff in The Desert
Apart from a few Chiffchaffs and even fewer Blackcaps the bushes were very quiet, lots of House Martins and Swallows around this morning with the latter trickling through all day. A Goldeneye on the ARC was new in.
This afternoons sea watch was predictably quiet.

No sign of yesterdays Pectoral Sandpiper from Dennis's, though CT and myself did see a Stint or Peep on the islands in front of Makepiece viewed from Dennis's late afternoon, but we had to leave it as the reserve gates are locked at 17.00.😢
The Egret roost tonight held both the Glossy Ibis's, 10 Cattle Egrets but only 6 Great Egrets and even stranger only 2 Little Egrets.
2 Glossy Ibis coming into roost this evening
