First thing this morning The ARC car park bushes and Willow Trail were positively jumping with Chiffchaffs, Around the peninsula there must have been 1,000s of them. From Hanson the Glossy Ibis was joined by 2 Cattle Egrets, several Common Snipe, a Common Sandpiper and the usual wildfowl.

Wheatear at Scotney
As I cycled past Scotney to the Sandpit there were Chiffchaffs in every bush, the Scotney copse was full of them, lovely to see and hear so many of them.
There were 8 Ruff on the causeway at Scotney
The bushes on the track up to the Sandpit were alive with Chiffchaffs. In the pit 3 Green and 2 Common Sandpipers, 4 Avocets and a Greenshank, in the surrounding fields c500 Golden plover.
