Still cool

Out about the same time as yesterday, it was much quieter at LFGP, but the Mandarin were paying a lot of attention to Alan's new nest box.



A Little Egret in the SE corner really was about all there was, so off to Sandford where 2 Oystercatcher were asleep, 1 Pochard, but still okay numbers of Gadwall and Wigeon.

On Lavell's, 3-4 Snipe and the Little Egret dropped in, but little to speak of, although I did get one half obscured snap of 2 male Bullfinch hiding in the Blackthorn.


So on to the car park field and a Mistle Thrush was the highlight, then a little look from BSL sailing club beach, provided nothing, but suddenly a heard a high pitched call and looked up to see two 2 Pipits flying fast SW, getting the scope on them you couldn't say with any certainty what they were, but something about the directness of flight and lack of undulations, plus their general shape, for me pointed towards Rock Pipit, but being it was to quick to be sure.
