Benacre, Rushmere and Leathe's Ham

Bright day and a lovely walk in the morning.,

Benacre:  I heard another CUCKOO again here today. This makes my count 7 for the year which is not bad really considering. Also 9 COMMON WHITETHROAT heard singing and 2 others seen not in voice. 3 GREAT CRESTED GREBE, 1 MARSH HARRIER male and a COMMON BUZZARD over Benacre Farm and Church. 12 SHELLDUCK and it looks like a good group behind bank. A single REED WARBLER and a SEDGE WARBLER. Considering I went for waders the water was to high so no joy. I had a good view of a GREAT SPOTTED WOOD and LINNETS where out at 2. SAND MARTINS doing what they do on the cliff. I only heard one WILLOW WARBLER here today.
Rushmere: A pair of BULLFINCH near Marsh Farm. Plus a good number of HOUSE SPARROWS along the lane.
Leath's Ham:   A single POCHARD was a good find and new arrivals in the shape of 2 REED WARBLER. a single PINTAIL female. BLACKCAP and 2 CHIFFCHAFF as well as BLACKBIRD, GREAT and BLUE TIT. GREY HERON and dancing COOT.
