Day 10 1 Whinchat, 6 Stonechat, 2 Redstart, 3 Red-Backed Shrike, 4 Lesser Whitethroat ditto Corn Bunting, 1 each Marsh Harrier, Sardinian Warbler & Spotted Flycatcher, c24 Greenfinch, c15 Goldfinch, 3 Great White Egret in flight, 1 Blackbird ditto Grey Wagtail, 2 Kingfisher, Red-necked Phalarope. 3/4 Tree Pipit flight calls heard.
An interesting sight was 2 Laughing Doves doing a dance routine. They would circle each other then jump up over one another repeatedly. Was this 2 males establishing mastery. This is a very late date for a breeding foxtrot surely?
Does anybody want to take advantage of scores of RB Shrike and Phalarope photos on offer, say at £25 the lot? What's that you say more like £35? OK deal I'll credit your bank account within the next 2 days 😆.
