Monday 12th May: Greenshank and Common Tern
Another fabulous day: warm, dry and sunny.
This morning on the Meadow very little of note: 13 mute swans, 1 grey heron, a number of black-headed gulls and a few miscellaneous ducks.
On Burgess Field: the warblers were rather quiet but did see a few whitethroat, a sedge warbler and a pair of blackcap. There were also several linnets and green finches and a calling reed bunting.
At around lunch-time on the Meadow: 1 GREENSHANK, 1 COMMON TERN. It does appear that lunch-time is a good time for greenshank at present with 3 separate sightings in the last four days at around this time.
