A few Med Gulls were heading inland at 04:50.
No Pete, no (or at least, very limited) power and hence no lunch!! No one on reserve, that I saw, other than beshorted ARK (despite the weather!!). Four distant Green Sandpipers were visible from the hanger; lots of mud suitable for a nice rare wader - if only. A very blue-grey looking Hobby zipped through and probably in excess of forty each, Sand Martin and Swift, dropped down by the weather.
Unfortunately a smart Chrysotoxum hover, either cautum or verralli got away from me along the path adjacent to Wiggonholt Church.
Heathland was bare except for a perched-up Kestrel and a fledged juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Torrential rain on the way home.
