Yellow Wagtail - Manor Farm - Spring 093:30 > 4:30
Sunny periods, warm.
Still quiet on the whole at Manor Farm, hopefully the calm before the storm.
Work continues on the new area east of Godwit Corner (see post below) but the heavy plant deters any bird from entering this area during the day.
Out on the mud the most noticable bird was the 200+ Lapwing sleeping the afternoon away. These were joined by around thirty Black Headed Gulls and a single Lesser Black Backed Gull. A single Little Egret was also present.
On the bird of prey front a Common Buzzard was high over while the Kestrel still tries in vain to catch the increasing Goldfinch 'charms'.
Migration wise a sizable flock of seventy or more Housemartin passed through and an odd Sandmartin was still about.
The highlight of the day though was a party of three Yellow Wagtails passing through heading due south, hopefully the vanguard of better to come.
