Whitethroat Breeding

 16th May

Didn't go out yesterday because of the rain squalls but better today. Hoped to see the strange wagtail again but didn't but Mark had seen it being fed behind the huts by two adult greys.

The new hedge planted a couple of years ago by the Sportsman PH has developed really well and is full of birds mainly sparrows but I have noticed a whitethroat nesting in there and maybe why we are seeing a few lesser whitethroats this year...goldcrests and chiffs earlier.

Along the wall the usual reed buntings, yellow wagtails, mipits with food and I managed to photograph a common lizard which came out onto a lump of wood also took a photo of a St Marks fly.


I returned pm to get fleeting glimpses of little and Sandwich terns.
