GoingBirding: 16th April


Grimsbury Reservoir
2 Common Tern
Common Sandpiper
White Wagtail: Pretty sure it was alba but was a bit dark.
2 Whitethroat: m. singing.
9 Sedge Warbler: m. singing. I'm assuming most must be passage birds.
4 Lapwing: 2 pairs. now on nest scrapes.
2 Wheatear: 1m. in the same field as the Lapwings.
