An earlier start today, out at LFGP by 07:30, not much to speak of though, 1 female Teal, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Common Sandpiper. So off to Sandford, usual pair of Oystercatcher, 4 Shoveler, a pair looking like they were prospecting the area, 2 males following them bobbing their heads. 5 Common Tern, 1 Gadwall.
On past Middle Marsh to BSL where 3 Nightingales sang, as did plenty of Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Garden Warbler and Cetti's showed briefly, another calling nearby, several Sedge Warbler, another Reed Warbler on the West bank point and a few short calls of a certain other species.
A look across the lake and at last a handful of hirundines, 10+ Swallow, 2 Sand Martin, 2 House Martin, 2 Swift. Cuckoo is proving elusive for me at the moment, as is LRP and Lesser Whitethroat, so I remain 5 behind the park.
