A quiet morning

Out at 06:30 I heard an LRP going over South, but I went straight to LFGP in hope of a Greenshank and Blackwit, but none to be found, a lone Common Sandpiper was in our very muddy SW corner, as were a good few Lapwing and juv BH Gulls.

2-3, pairs of Common Tern do appear to be settling into nesting on the shingle island, but as always I worry with the near silence on Sandford, there is a Mink lurking and likely to attack any day.

A lone small job was perched on the bushed of the reedy ditch on the landfill, I think it was just a Reed Bunting as it dropped inside the bush.

No sign of any Teal, Shoveler, or other waders.

At BSL, 40+ Swift overhead, at Lavell's no sign of the juv Cuckoo, a pair of Oystercatcher quietly sat near the bund. Reed Warblers everywhere.
