Dave and I went out today in
the hope that some of the terns involved in yesterday’s movement had lingered.
We arrived at Eyebrook
Reservoir to find just six Common Terns with no sign of yesterday’s Arctic or
Black Terns. We did see a Red Kite, a
Buzzard and two Raven just to the west of the reservoir and heard Chiffchaff,
Lesser Whitethroat and Sedge Warbler.
At Rutland Water we went to
lagoons three and four but again there were only Common Terns with fourteen or
fifteen being present. Waders were also
disappointing with just three Oystercatchers, a Little Ringed Plover, three
Ringed Plovers and a couple of Dunlin.
However we did find a nice summer plumage Little Gull on lagoon three,
although there were apparently nine by the end of the day. The Cetti’s Warbler was singing well by
bittern hide and three Chiffchaff, five Willow Warblers, eight Blackcaps, a
Lesser Whitethroat and six Sedge Warblers were either seen or heard.
