Needed to get out and about (as a 'head-straightening'  exercise!) and as usual TH is the easiest place. Generally quite busy with families on the reserve but little birdlife on the east side with just Kingfisher, two incessantly noisy stripey-headed GCG chicks (only quieting down when guzzling fish from mum or dad) and a Hobby. Four V.inanis were still quietly feeding along the boardwalk.

Sadly, just missed out on the last portion of Vegetable and Lentil Curry. Damn!

On the west side two Wood Sands, six Green Sands, two Common Sands, five Greenshanks, three Dunlins and seven Snipes. One of the Wood Sands gave very nice scope views and it was really very pleasant to sit quietly and scope three of the Greenshanks for quite a while.   A single Migrant Hawker was patrolling the path although I suspect most of the high and distant hawkers were this species.
