London WWT

Another stunning morning, that seem a little sporadic at the moment as Spring attempts to spurt and splutter into life.


The first and immediate sighting were of 18 Common Swift over the visitor centre prior to opening. 

There was a bit of wader interest with a fly-through Oystercatcher, and two Little Ringed Plover on exposed islands on the main lake.  A single Common Sandpiper was present there too.  On the grazing marsh, three Common Redshank and a single Common Snipe were seen present there.

A single Wigeon remained on the small pool by the sluice.

A bright Yellow Wagtail was feeding out on the marsh.

My first Common Tern for the site, a small group of three were typically vocal as they flew round the reserve.

A Little Egret plodded around the wader scrape.

Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler are now regular singers around the reserve.
