Repeat, repeat

With the weather locked into a pattern of cold, I did just manage to get out, but had no enthusiasm for getting to Lea Farm. Instead I did the sailing club, where 3 Common Sandpiper fed, but nothing else.

I checked the car park field and landfill, Mistle Thrush of course, then Bittern hide, 1 Shoveler, 1 Cetti's, 2 Reed & 1 Sedge Warbler. For some reason it is a funny sight watching Kestrel and Jackdaw squabble on every changeover of sitting duties.

I've been grumbling about wader passage, in particular Whimbrel, but as it happens there are a good number of late April to mid May records, so plenty of time, at least for those in the UK after 6th!

Still a few small jobs flying about, 3 today were likely finches, but it was all too brief to be sure.
