22nd April - mostly sunny spells, light SW, 18C

Shawell Lagoons; a look here this morning produced the usual species seen here, one drake Wigeon - may be the one from Stanford reeervoir.

Brandon Marsh; a look here in the afternoon, hoping for some migrants.  On east marsh there were single Little-ringed and Ringed Plover, Redshank pair mating as were the Oystercatchers. A good number of Lapwing too.
Scarcity value was raised by the presence of a drake Garganey.  Other duck included Tufted, Shoveler, Teal and Mallard Duck with ducklings.
Sand Martins were busy at the colony, at leat 3 Cetti’s Warblers were singing, also Willow and Sedge Warblers, Blackcaps and a single Whitethroat.
