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

Migrantless March continues...
After yesterday, back to cooler overcast conditions. The large flock of godwits contained two Bar'wits and a Ruff, 21 Avocets were on the scrapes with a massive increase in gulls - it was pretty deafening. A single Chiffchaff was the only migrant. Others had the Firecrest in its usual place and apparently there were two more Ruff. Raptors as usual.
Under the corrugated sheets a single Bank Vole and two sluggish Slow Worms, one above whilst a visitor kindly held the sheet up for me. In the Meadow Hide ditch two, possibly three, Water Voles entertained visitors.
