Thursday started at Canons Farm, producing patch interest in the form of
Cormorant,
Grey Heron, six
Mallards and a
Lesser Black-backed Gull... For a change, I then headed to the London Wetland Centre where little was going on but it was nice to see
Common Tern,
Common Sandpiper and
Little Ringed Plover.
Friday's forecast was for a rainy morning but yet again it turned out to be mostly dry. I stuck around at Beddington for much of the day anyway, as Christian C and Magnus A were around, along with Koje. The undoubted highlight was the spanking drake
Garganey found by Frank P on the South Lake. The (or possibly another?) 2cy
Iceland Gull, a
Common Sandpiper and a couple of
LRPs were also about.
