Sightings at Goring this morning included nine
Common Scoters, a
Fulmar, two
Mediterranean Gulls, seven
Gannets, 11
Sandwich Terns, a
Little Egret, four
Ringed Plovers, three
Sanderlings, five
Swifts, a
Swallow and a singing
Goldcrest. I had to double-take when, sitting in the garden later on, I heard a
Reed Warbler chuntering away a few gardens along! Late migrants of this species can indeed turn up in strange places. A couple of
Swallows flew through and a
Goldcrest was singing next door. I guess the latter might be starting second broods.
