April 9th

Arrived just after 6-30 this morning and didn't see anything until the fog cleared at around 8-45, good job I could identify the birds by song alone. Counted six Blackcap , three Willow Warblers and eight Chiffchaff . When the fog lifted it revealed three male and two female Brambling around the feeders along with two male and a single female Reed Bunting . All the usual birds were around and the Little Grebe were heard again but not seen. It was typical five of the species we didn't see with our group yesterday put in an appearance this morning , Cormorant , Goldcrest , Lapwing , Sparrowhawk and four Buzzard's displaying. At 16-15 Jack noted 20 Sand Martin's and three Swallow's over the water.

Sparrowhawk.
