August 8th
As you know one of my favourite places that has rarely disappointed over the years, I visited with Paul at dawn on the Saturday, only my 2nd visit this year.
Lots of Curlew in the Breach on a rising tide, I estimated around 180+ also a single Grey Plover seen along with 6 Black Tailed Godwits and 4 Whimbrel the best of the waders.
The morning however will go to 7+ Bearded Tits, juveniles all, it seemed staying faithful to one particular Reedbed, always good to catch up with these. Additionally they stayed for a good while allowing me to get some half decent photos.
Raptors were represented by Common Buzzard, Hobby, Kestrel, Marsh Harrier and a juvenile Peregrine flew overhead, no rings that we could see. This far out ‘in the wilds’ possibly a juvenile that has left the natal site and is now self-sufficient.
Good birds/migrants seen on the drive out to the road included a Northern Wheatear, 2 Corn Bunting, 4 Whinchat and a Stonechat.
