Broom GPs

Another good early morning at Broom with dunlin numbers down on yesterday (a maximum of nine seen yesterday) with two first thing with another joining the group after a brief fly-around.  The scrape also held the continuing ringed plover, greenshank, and the two little ringed plover.

A decent flock of hirundines then dropped in with at least 50 swallow and a few swift amongst the martins.  A hobby swooped through with a successful first catch of the day.

Other highlights were my first garden warbler and wheatear for the reserve, the latter were two females on the opposite side within ploughed land.

Seven lesser black backed gull flew through and 24 black headed gull was the highest count for a couple of weeks.  Two wigeon were feeding on the far bank.
