Golden Plover

I did most of the main spots this morning, at BSL 9 Pochard and 20-30 Redwing over, at Bittern Hide 4 Little Grebe and scoping the main island a tit flock had 2-3 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff and at least 1 Goldcrest. Richard joined me and we saw something medium size and pale move very briefly in the edge of reeds, but never saw it again and have no idea what it was...never will know now.
At LFGP we watched a trickle of Swallow and House Martin go SE, 4-5 Skylark on the landfill, a few more Meadow Pipit, a few more Redwing, some nearby Buzzards and when trying to scope hirundines, I picked up 2 distant Golden Plover way East of DP, moving South. A 1st Winter and Adult Winter Common Gull came in from the NE. On leaving Ron's hide, 2 more Chiffchaff were along the Loddon and a Redpoll went over calling South, but looked like it would be staying local.
