Wed 12th Aug 26
A good start to the morning when Pete Loud found a Pied Flycatcher just minutes after getting out of his car on the hedge at the bottom of the carpark. Thankfully Richard, Mike & myself were not far away and all got good views. A few new birds on the scrape with 2 Ruff, 2 Ringed Plovers (different birds to Yesterday), 1 Golden Plover plus a nice Chinese Water Deer.
