This morning John and I headed out early. We recorded six (min.) Yellow Wagtails, Common Sandpiper, Lesser Whitethroat and several each of Whitethroat and Sedge Warbler. I stayed later hoping (desperately) for some terns or Little Gulls but they didn't arrive. Mid-morning a Swift arrived and then another two and shortly after a Sanderling appeared on the western shoreline. Clive had also seen a Little Egret up the valley.
A few people came to see the Sanderling but unfortunately it didn't stay long with a high level of human recreational activity. However, John (and Luca!) did record our first Garden Warbler of the year along the river.
