A real non starter at the Dams - nothing doing until I hit the corner track above Haigh Cote where it was busy right up to the Withens.
My hopes and aspirations were met with stonkeration 😁.
A Whinchat perched on a wire fence is only my second of the year. A pr Snipe flew directly at me before nosediving into the reeds.
10 Linnet, c17 Goldfinch a few Meadow Pipit. A WW and a Blue Tit were having a bit of a tiff. A dozen House Martin &
c26 Swallow 1 Kestrel.
Ogden Water: a Little Grebe and a Tufted Duck. The latter didn’t hang around though. The Nuthatch from yesterday called briefly. 3 Cormorant and the gull crowd.
As expected the visitor wildfowl from yesterday have moved
away.
