Tues 8th Sept 20

Around the bushes this morning were all the normal stuff plus Com. & Lesser Whitethroats, Blackcaps, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Green Woodpecker, a mixed Tit flock at the memorials and 20+ Pied Wagtails on the Greensward. There was a steady trickle of Swallows & House Martins again today but nothing like yesterdays numbers. Two Lt. Grebe were on the brook near the windpump.

Nothing special on the scrape today, but it was nice to share what was with the lads from Hythe Lagoons that joined us in the hide mid-morning.

 From the hide:

c70 Teal, 3 Shelduck, c70 Lapwing, 3 Dunlin, 3 Snipe, 2 Ruff, 2 BlkWits, 2 Curlew, 1 Redshank, 1 Buzzard, 1 Kestrel.

The walk to the second pillbox added 2 more Curlew on the marsh, 3 Stonechat, 2 Wheatear and 2 more Kestrels.
