Sweeping 'em up!

Despite the human traffic and lack of time on weekends at my favoured patch, I seem to be getting lucky. Latest conquests of Greenshank, Grey Plover, Whimbrel, Turnstone and today Sanderling and Garganey have really bolstered the list. All to play for over the next week or so. Good luck all.............just need some Terns.

Busy day at work with no lunchtime.  So pleased with a bit of afterwork ticking at Roxton.

Broom Garganey

Not actually found a Garganey since the start of this blog so a good tick for me this morning in the SW corner of Peacocks Lake. Greenshank, Common Sandpiper and Little Egret on the nearby banks behind it made for a pleasant outlook. Back at GLE, shortly after bumping into Roger, a pair of Ruff came through with a few circles of the lake and a brief few seconds on the deck before heading off high to the south-west. Not a bad early morning out...

Told you Radwell looked good at the moment.

A young male Garganey hiding at this fabulous site. Wish it was nearer home. 

One more for the list.

The mighty Radwell and virtuous WeBS volunteering paid back kindly this morning with a handy SFYT with a couple of Garganeys.
