22nd Apr 2017: Redstart

I was out again this morning and had three Common Sandpipers at the reservoir and there were at least four Whitethroats around. So there are obviously new arrivals and birds moving against the wind. Otherwise, there were two Little Ringed Plovers, several Sand Martins through and everything else was fairly unchanged.

However, later in the afternoon Colin found a male Redstart in the hedge between the water treatments works and the cattle field. It wasn't present in the evening but is another new bird for the year.
