Wheatear the best on slow week

Wheatear
Storm approaching
Early start
Jon from east bank

Very few sightings to report this week I'm afraid, let's hope nothing got missed ! I was working on Saturday so only managed a visit on Sunday to the pits with Jon.

Heavy rain over night gave us hope of a different passage wader but sadly we had to be content with a Ringed Plover that flew over the main pit early. Highlights of the morning were 8 Wigeon, 55 Teal (increasing slowly), 9 Shoveler, 13 Gadwall, Kingfisher, 5 Snipe, 1 Lapwing, 2 Wheatear, 2 Green Sandpiper, 1 Common Sandpiper, 3 Grey heron, Kestrel, Buzzard, 9 Cormorant, 1 Reed Warbler, 7 Blackcaps, 3 Greater Spotted Woodpecker & a Green Woodpecker.
