Hobby

A look at the south shore of the pond produced Dunlin and 4 Ringed Plover then a walk to the outlet adding Shelduck, 4 Raven, 2 Grey Wagtail, 14 Wigeon and 2 Shoveler to our day tally, at least 800 House Martin and 300 Sand Martin still present. On our return to the visitor centre making our way to a table I noted a small raptor sitting on the floor of the balcony edge half hidden by chair legs, juvenile Hobby just feet away – but as Bob got the camera out it flew off over the country park.

Decided to have lunch at Brandon Marsh but the Pec and Osprey that were present earlier were not on show, 70+ Shoveler, 16 Snipe, Shelduck and Kingfisher noted.
