Long and slightly misty wait for Gos action. A single bird perched up distantly before eventually two displaying birds. Two Woodlarks, at times singing, four overflying Redpolls, an invisible calling Crossbill, one Raven, ten or more Sand Martins and finally, just as Mike and I were getting ready to go, a 'tic-ing' Hawfinch sat up and showed well.
A big smoky gorse burn by FC along the road through the heart of the forest; wonder what happens to basking reptiles ??
Lunch in Tern hide produced three LRPs, six or more Med Gulls and a first winter Little Gull. Similar numbers of Goosanders to last visit, but no Raven action and no sign of the Scaup. Just Brimstone and Peacock butterflies.
Camera stayed in bag today.
