Spring Migrants 12th & 13th April

Yesterday went to Bainton Heath & Lakes. Plenty of warblers now in evidence. Chiffchaffs Sedge and Reed warblers. Lots of Black Caps and Willow Warblers singing and heard my first Nightingale of the year on the heath. Also saw my first Speckled Wood butterfly of the season. Huge numbers of Sand Martins over the main lake. Today walked the Cut & Etton Maxey Pit. 3 Green Sandpipers, 3 Little Egrets, 2 Oyster Catchers and 5 Ringed Plovers. Also 2 Wheatears and one Yellow Wagtail on the steep bank of the the pit. No Cetti's Warbler about yet although i did see and hear two at Lakenheath reserve on the 8th April.
