Si Nicholls had the following:
Hi all
The bitter westerly wind this morning reminded me that I was not about to find hoards of summer migrants and passage waders ! And also what a joke (geddit !) It was getting out and about early !
1 GREEN SANDPIPER was the only wader , 5 Swallows and 4 Sand Martins attempted to make it look summery ! Failed ;-)
Best of the rest was 2 pairs of Teal and 5 Pied Wagtails
That said , the Farm is looking fantastic and as soon as passage gets underway proper , we should be reaping the rewards !
Keep looking !
And later a follow up...
I wonder if there is a precedent for afternoons at the Farm being more productive ?
The full rundown of species this morning was as follows
4 Tufted Ducks , 1 GC Grebe , 4 Teal , 4 Mallard , 5 BH Gulls , 5 Pied Wags, 1 Green Sandpiper !
No Shelduck , herons or any numbers of Small passerines ! A few Fieldfare are still present , watching these as Swallows swooped past them was quite surreal !
