Common Whitethroat braving the NE gale to sing
A couple of visits to the ARC today failed to find the Ring-necked Duck among the the many wildfowl going into eclipse. A couple of Reed Warblers were singing there also a lone Sedge Warbler, but most birds were sheltering from the near gale force NE wind.
Around the reserve several Hobbys were hawking very high, a single Cattle Egret was in hay field 3 and 2 Great White Egrets were sheltering behind a reed bed on Dengemarsh. On Burrowes the only notable birds were 2 Grey Plovers. It's hard to believe it is June when you can walk around the reserve and not see a single Tern, also just a handful of visitors on bank holiday Saturday most without optics of any description.
Hobby appeared overhead just too quick for me
