23rd May Saturday - Sunny - hot, 26C, light SW

Lilbourne Meadows; morning

A look at the flood pools area, Ringed Plovers and Dunlin seem to have gone.  Six Little Egrets and two grey Herons though.
Otherwise the other current regulars.

Misterton; morning.

Watches a Nuthatch gathering food and taking to a nest. Also, a very busy Treeecreeper, likely doing the same.



Rutland Water; afternoon.

I visited here this afternoon to catch up with the Kentish Plover which has been showing on Lagoon 4 a couple of days, I soon found it and had good views.  I took some digi-video, which given the heat shimmer and distance is better than I expected.





Also, present on Lagoon 4 were: a Glossy Ibis, a Barnacle Goose, Sanderlings, plus the other seasonal regulars for the site.
A Lesser Whitethroat sang near the Dunlin hide and a Cuckoo in the wood.  I noted an Egyptian Goose family too.
