Tues 15th Mar 22

I popped to the farm on the way in this morning but couldn't find the Black Redstart. The set-aside strip had been harrowed and c50 Chaffinch were feeding in the farm yard. Green & Gt. Spotted Woodpecker, Linnet, Corn Bunting, Skylark all noted + lots of Goldfinch & Blue Tits in the church yard.

From the hide: Things much the same with the ducks, Avocet 46, 4 Redshank, 2 Snipe, 2 Oystercatcher, 1 BlkWit, but birds of the day were 2 Lt. Ringed Plover  that flew around the scrape before seeming to drop into the marsh below the raised platform and were lost to view. PRD/BH/MR.
