A cooler morning today with quite a strong north-easterly wind blowing, but nevertheless plenty to hear and see out along the Maxey Cut and on the reserve.
There were sedge warbler and whitethroat everywhere, along with my first singing garden warbler (in the usual spot in the Old Pits) and a purring turtle dove on top of the mobile phone mast there. Also singing lesser whitethroat, willow warbler, reed warbler and linnet. And a constant cuckoo!
On the reserve itself a single female wheatear and another first for the year for me - a common sandpiper on the mud near the pump house, along with two oystercatcher. There was also a pair of little ringed plover and five cormorant.
Along the Cut - at least 10 common tern overhead at various times and six separate little egret.
