One shouldn't grumble when all you get is cold bright blue mornings, but now it's Friday I'm just a bit bored of cold weather, it makes less sing and leads to little visible passage. Wednesday 5 Little Egret went over LFGP toward DP at 06:22, 1 Common and 1 Green Sandpiper still, 1 Snipe, then we left and went to Lavell's where I caught up with a male Whitethroat at Tern Meadow 07:05.
John and I were still contemplating the world at BSL and watching 10+ Swallow in company with 2 House Martin, when Marek WhatsApp'd to say 'male Garganey at Sandford'. Amazing, if they are all different birds, that's 4 in one spring!
Thursday I thought I'd try BSL first and got nothing, apart from a male Mandarin and a Mistle Thrush in the compound at the DAC.
Today it was more quiet, 12 Teal at LFGP, 2 Snipe, 4 Sand Martin and 2 Swallow, with 2 Sedge Warbler heard from Bittern hide. Brian had the first Nightingale later on the island near the picnic area.
