London WWT
A cool morning with a fair bit of interest with the daily arrival of summer migrants with a few lingering winter visitors.
A single Jack Snipe remained on the wader scrape, but this time took to feeding out in the open along the far margins of one of the islands. Three Common Snipe were present there.
The two Shelduck remained as were a pair of Pintail with their departure imminent from these parts.
Three Redshank were out feeding on the grazing marsh, with a single Common Gull still present on the main lake.
My first Sedge Warbler of the year was a singer that remained out of view, singing from scrub near to the wildside hide. Three male Blackcap were in song around the reserve.
Hirundines were more prominent today with at least 30 Sand Martin present along with three House Martin, and four Swallow.
A Common Buzzard soared overhead.
