Variable veiwing?

Loddon:    Called in for a short walk and I suppose the only thing you can say about today is that there little birdies starting to get about. The best ones here were a family of  MISTLE THRUSHS. It seemed as if the parents were with four young birds over the marsh on the west side of Loddon. We also had a very confiding GREY HERON who with his partner seemed to be intent on gaining food for young. I could also hear a WHITETHROAT and CHIFFCHAFF as well as CHAFFINCH and SONG THRUSH.
Hales:   We had a fly over BUZZARD which was heading North, it was in good condition.
Reedham Ferry South Side: Best bird was a COMMON SANDPIPER heading East close to the water, being escorted by a SWALLOW. There where plenty of Hirundo around again today. We also had one very diminutive and well coloured MARSH HARRIER here. There were also GADWALL with young and several SHELLDUCK, 2 SHOVELORE, 5 LAPWING in one meadow and several scattered around. With on HARE trying to feed up.
