7th July - sunny spells, showersd around, light W, 20C

Finningley, Notts; morning

A twitch today to see the Black-winged Pratincole.  It showed well in flight quite often, usually settling in grass obscuring ground views.  Heat haze prevented photos too.  Never-the-less a super bird and very elegant flight display.

Lilbourne Meadows; evening.

Nothing new in, 8 Little Egrets, c 10 Swifts.

Stanford reservoir; 

Common Sandpiper and a Oystercatcher on the dam.  c 100 Swifts feeding.

Only one Shoveler seen.  Blackcap and Garden Warbler singing.

A Grey Heron on the dam allowed close study!
