All good things (and hopefully bad) must come to an end, and after such a pleasant weekend with my dear friends we have now returned to home turf. No time for Living in the Past (Jethro Tull) there were traps to be laid and while condition still remain a little less than prefect we considered the first catch, on our return, to be a 'goody'!

First out a First for Year

OAK NYCTEOLINE
and similarly

a

SPECTACLE

while for good measure and a little padding an eye-catching

HERALD
The following 'rounds' could be described as 'scant' but even though common elsewhere a

BLACK-HEADED GULL

on the
Gravel Pit

is by no means usual.
With hopes of breeding still a forethought both

female

and male
SHOVELER
are still in attendance while the incubating

COOT
must by now be half way through the process?

GADWALL
remain a 'pair' but only the

female attending for a video call while

LITTLE GREBE
was only recorded as a singleton, this is hoped to be as the others are tending or sitting on nests??

To end the wander this
REED BUNTING
a little obscured by vegitation was both vocal and

Tail-Fanning.
