Odds and Ends

28 April - it's difficult to resist picking up the binoculars this time of year, so a trip to Shorncote produced a good variety as ever, including a nice little party of summer-plumaged Dunlin accompanied by 2 Common Sandpipers and a LRP. Plenty of Warblers including Lesser Whitethroats and Garden W, as well as A cacophony of Reed and Sedge Warblers in the main Reedbed. A quick evening stop at Blakehill was well worth it with 2 male Whinchats and a line up of 7 Wheatears on the fence posts.
