Thurs 2nd May 24

Everything took a back seat after Richard and I found a Citrine Wagtail at the back of the flood this morning, a steady flow of admirers kept us busy and there was lots of chat with people not seen for a while. Pied Wag, White Wag and Yellow Wag were also noted, the Gt. White Egret had a few flights over the scrape, the Spotted Redshank also put in an appearance otherwise much the same. Will it still be there in the morning?
