A fair amount of rain fell sometime after 02:30, something I didn't see on the forecast, so a few egg boxes were saturated and probably need replacing. Similar numbers of LYU to yesterday with one Lesser and no other species at all!! Luckily only half a dozen wasps this time. Time for a few night's off.

A couple of hours at Titchfield produced nice scope views of three Whinchats plus single Wheatear and Redstart. The cattle had an attendant flock of about thirty Yellow Wagtails which occasionally showed well.

This week's west side works meant that south scrape was virtually devoid of birds; don't recall ever seeing it so empty. Marsh Harrier, briefly plus the usual Buzzards and Kestrels. A single Green Sandpiper perched up on fencing and two eastbound Bar-tailed Godwits were the best of the waders.

Unsurprisingly, tomorrow's ringing session was cancelled (for the second time); ironic considering just how many decent days there have been this year.

A couple of latterly-identified micros took total to 154.
