I spent a lot of time around the south end of the site this morning with very little to show for my efforts, 1 Pied Flycatcher at the Dipping Pond (in the same area as yesterday), a couple of Chiffs & Willow Warblers otherwise all of the residents in small numbers. The interesting male Stonechat was again on the mounds behind the sluice.
