Pathways, North Denes and Ness Point.

Pathways:  Caught site of two COMMON BUZZARD soaring well over the lake. Several young BLUE TIT and GREAT TIT. CHAFFINCH, BLACKCAP, But the best was a new dragonfly on site with a MIGRANT HAWKER male. Also WILLOW GREEN EMERALD DAMSELFLY and COMMON HAWKER. MALLARD, COOT, MOORHEN.


 
North Dene's:  WHINCHAT came in at 5 with one being an obvious young bird. MEADOW PIPIT saw 2 birds lift of and set off. LINNET 2, WHITETHROAT 2, GREENFINCH 1.

Ness Point:   First bird seen was a female BLACK REDSTART which came at sat near me. When I whistled it, it turned it's head on it's side and gave me a funny look. This is understandable? But I also picked up on a RED THROATED DIVER flying North and reasonably close. Close enough to see it had no darkness under the joint of the wing to the body. Flying well off and South 10 SANDWICH TERNS. The MED GULLS were sticking together at 7 and of all age groups.
