Dun for tun

A dawn raid on Meadow Lane didn't provide much for me but following sightings of the odd, regularly reported Dunlin/s at Broom last week, there were two at Meadow Lane this morning, taking me to three figures.

Handed to me on a plate...

Well, if no one else is gonna get up and walk around in the rain....

Ducks

It's April. Go birding. Come home. Then go birding again.

Hitting the Jackpot

I've been walking around various likely looking grassy pools in several places this winter.  As we headed into April, I was thinking I was going to have to wait until the end of the year to add Jack Snipe but tonight, I saw four of the blighters at Meadow Lane.  All landed in wet tyre tracks in the adjacent stubble field but I couldn't find them again.  Maybe tomorrow.
