Yellowhammer near the pumphouse. Other bits included three
Redwings, two
Red-breasted Mergansers, a
Pheasant, four
Great Crested Grebes, six
Turnstones, 98
Sanderlings, seven
Sandwich Terns, two
Lesser Black-backed Gulls, eight
Stock Doves, a
Green Woodpecker, a
Great Spotted Woodpecker, three
Skylarks, four
Chiffchaffs, three
Blackcaps, seven
Meadow Pipits and a
Pied Wagtail (not many of these lately).
