Some periodic ramblings about bird, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, hovers and anything else that pops into my head.

A return visit to the Barred Warbler which showed well but which was surrounded by cameras and big whites so I left them to it. Three Marsh Harriers including a fine male, Kingfisher distantly over the frying pan and a Raven on the east side perched up on the telecommunications mast before again flying west with a beakful of something.
Two Water Rails from the road on arrival and the Eider flock again (45+) plus four Common Scoters. Sadly mansged to miss a B-tD offshore.
A GSP was almost drumming and one or two others seen overflying the meadows. One Sparrowhawk, several Buzzards and thirty odd godwits on or over the meadows.
West side frozen with just six Snipe.
