I have been short on time to blog recently, but highlights this week have been an adult Garden Warbler in the bog Hawthorn, a couple of Whitethroat, a family of 3 Grey Wagtail in the sailing club car park..not the beach. I missed the last Black-tailed Godwit on the 5th. Up to 9 Little Egret have been seen at LFGP, a new August high count.
Today was bird walk and one or two nice things showed, first a Hobby hunting, then perched at Lavell's, offering a rare chance this year for a record shot. 1 was seen briefly later at LFGP too.
7 Shoveler on Tern scrape, was a little jump up from 2 yesterday and 1 all week, 22 Gadwall there too.
At LFGP, Alan, Geoff and others were watching a Redshank, which turns out to be only the second ever August record. Alan also informed me he had a Common Gull yesterday and if correct would be the first ever August record.
