Port Meadow Birding

An evening visit to the Meadow with the sky overcast and a stiff northerly breeze found a few birds of interest. A WHIMBREL was seen briefly though it flew off almost as soon as it was discovered. There was a REDSHANK along the North Reach and a couple of COMMON TERNS did a few circuits this evening though I suspect that the wind was not conducive to their usual insect feeding. There were plenty of swallows, house and sand martins and swifts about though.

During a brief walk around Burgess Field the CETTI'S WARBLER was still heard to be singing along with a couple of the GRASSHOPPER WARBLERS.
