I started the birding day at Canons, finding little unexpected but a
Meadow Pipit and a
Willow Warbler provided some value, along with the nesting pair of
Swallows and 13 migrant
Swifts. Two
Little Owls were calling and my first patch
Rook in a while flew over.
Spending the evening at Beddington, highlights there included an adult male
Wheatear, a quite showy
Yellow Wagtail, two 1cy
Yellow-legged Gulls, eight
Green Sandpipers, a
Common Sandpiper, a
Sedge Warbler and an
Egyptian Goose. There was an increase in ducks since my last visit, with seven
Teal, two
Pochard and six
Shovelers logged.
