Raptor frustration

I would never have been there anyway, but an Osprey being seen heading North about 3/4 Km beyond LFGP, would have course gone over there.

Late afternoon I thought a car park watch for 40 minutes might produce something, 1 House Martin, 2 Swallow, 1 Sand Martin, 2 Sparrowhawk and the usual Red Kite and Buzzard - the very pale one I saw a week or so ago, can cause some brief pause for clarity.

On to this morning and pretty quiet, 14 Teal LFGP, 2 more Tern Scrape + 1 Snipe, 2 Oycs LFGP, same warblers as yesterday, including a singing Whitethroat at the same place.

Then I went to BSL and finally found a Common Sandpiper just left of the sluice, dreadful record shot though

















Amazing how few hirundines still, 3 Swallow over was all today.
