Two more

I missed the Cuckoo again, but we saw 2 Swift drifting North East of Lavell's and the landfill, then at Teal Hide we could hear Reed Warbler.
My predictions based on previous years suggest I should get a minimum of 8 more birds, Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Little-ringed Plover, Cuckoo, Lesser Whitethroat, Yellow Wagtail and Spotted Flycatcher, all going well, a few more waders, terns and passerines may grace our patch.
The year list is now 120 for the park, 116 for me, a total so far of 107 for the month, 2nd highest ever and with 6 days left, we might beat the 109 record, by adding Ring-necked Parakeet, Garganey, other Terns, Whinchat, one of the above mentioned waders, or Whimbrel, Curlew, Dunlin....fingers crossed.
