Port Meadow Birding

In the morning: 4 grey herons but still no waders on the floods. With even the ruff having left it looks like things are winding down now. Passage-wise, at Farmoor there are still whimbrel moving through, together with sanderling, little gulls, artic and black terns. There's always the chance that something could stop in on the floods of course though it is starting to look and feel rather quiet.

In Burgess Field NR: the usual whitethroats, willow warblers, chiffchaffs, blackcaps, garden warblers, grasshopper warblers and  sedge warblers.

In the evening: a WHIMBREL just north of the floods (OOS). After my earlier comments on things getting quiet we get a passage wader!
