Walking out of the back door first thing, I was greeted by the bubbling of fly-over
Whimbrel, a tidy garden tick. I joined the ringers at Ladywell for the morning where we had an enjoyable session featuring a single
Sedge Warbler and a number of
Reed Warblers. Two
Shelducks were apparently a site first and other sightings included two
Treecreepers, a
Mistle Thrush, four
Buzzards, a
Red Kite, a
Little Egret, two
Cetti's Warblers, 12
Swifts and four
House Martins.
