At Lea Farm GP it was a little misty to start, 96 Greylag left, 100+ Lapwing were noisy, nothing much happening, then John arrived and we found 1 Stonechat. 2, then 3 Little Egret chased each other about, the Kingfisher came and went several times, a few Redwing and smaller jobs over.
The sun peeked thru the clouds and mist but it wasn't anything special
A Snipe in front of us gave excellent views and another chance to get a good picture, mine aren't bad
One phyllosc showed it's belly but no more and as it was a bit pale, I spent several minutes without success trying to find it again. The mist cleared enough to find the Pintail, now around for a week.
A walk back to the car and into the car park field, several Redwing, Song Thrush and Blackbird kept us looking for other species, but something small and a bit chat like on the big Hawthorn vanished before we got proper views and even a Chiffchaff proved difficult to see.
Over the landfill all we could find was 2 Stonechat, on the weeds around the vents behind the methane burner
