Dave and I went to Dean’s Lane
where we met Roger all hoping for some good visible migration.
It was relatively quiet but
there was some movement of Skylark; Swallows, alba wagtails, Meadow Pipits,
Chaffinch, Goldfinch and Linnet.
Roger and I then went to
Rutland Water and visited the north arm first.
There was no sign of the Black-necked Grebe but we did find a single
Ruff, two Black Terns and a Common Tern.
There were two Pintail and five Little Egrets and a Red Kite, two
Sparrowhawks and several Buzzards were observed over Burley Wood.
There being little else we
went to the centre and walked to lagoon four were a Curlew Sandpiper had been
reported. We did find two Dunlin, four
Ruff and a Snipe but there was no sign of the Curlew Sandpiper. There was also five Yellow-legged Gulls
roosting and two Hobby were observed towards lagoon three. We eventually went to lagoon three were
plenty of birds, which were primarily Gadwall and Tufted Duck.
A final call at the centre failed
to produce anything else although there must have been close 1000 Tufted Duck.
