Little Egret over the top of the Long Pits
A wander around the top of the Long Pits mid morning found several each of Willow Warbler and Blackcap with a few Swallows over.
Great White Egret Hay Field 3
Early afternoon at Dengemarsh found more Swallows and a Yellow Wagtail. A Great White Egret on Hay Field 3 was a surprise as I thought they had all gone, I assume this bird is non breeder as still has a yellow bill. At Hookers a Nightingale was singing half heartedly on the island, several Willow Warblers were there, also a Lesser Whitethroat and plenty of Sedge Warblers.

In coming Ring Ouzel
This lovely bird was found in the Desert by the DBO assistant warden Tom Wright



Probably a Greenland Wheatear in The Desert
European Wheatear in The Desert
