This Garden Warbler was highlight of a 2hr walk around the Long Pits this morning, among a few each of Common and Lesser Whitethroat and Willow Warblers, there was zero overhead passge. 
Pintail on the ARC an uncommon sight this time of year
The duckling Red-crested Pochard at the ARC today appears not to have grown wings yet??
A Pectoral Sandpiper at the SE end of the ARC with 2 Common Sandpipers, it was often difficult to se due the vegetation. It was found by JY whilst he was doing his weekly duck on the reserve. If you you are thinking of looking for the Sandpiper please refrain from parking on the main road.
Apart from the Pectoral Sandpiper there was no change in the birds there, 4 Cattle Egrets, 4 Great White Egrets, 2 Garganey, numerous Common Sandpipers and the Avocet family.
On Burrowes 2 Wood Sandpipers, 2 Greenshanks a few Dunlin, 40+ Common Terns and the usual wildfowl.
