11th April - mostly sunny morning, rain and wind, SSE/S from mid-afternoon, 12C

Willey

Three Fieldfares in barn fields area 0815h

Summer Leys NR; afternoon.

News of a male Kentish Plover found this morning tempted me to go and see it.  It was feeding on Gull Island and looked great.  Some record photos managed despite distance and weather.

Luckily, while watching this a White Stork (un-ringed) dropped in and showed well.

Other birds included two Common Terns, Great and Little Egrets, Grey Heron, Oystercatcher, Little Ringed Plover, Redshank, Goldeneye, Shoveler, Gadwall, Teal, Sand Martins.
