Corton Old Sewage Works and Leathe's Ham.

C.O.S.W.: On arrival a flock of 40 STARLING around the church tower, kicking of as usual. Some GOLDFINCH about as well and with others in the vicinity in excess of 20 birds. But it also the sound of hirudue's above saw a movement of 11 HOUSE MARTIN, 1 SWALLOW and 1 SWIFT. But the best bird was a lovely WHINCHAT , which flitted about. A KESTREL was on the telegraph pole keeping a good watch. But only 1 CHAFFINCH and 1 DUNNOCK. Some young PIED WAGTAIL in the part ploughed field.
Leathe's Ham:  I was surprised at the count of SHOVELORE with me stopping at 26. Also 3 CORMORANT and 3 LITTLE GREBE. There was also a CHIFFCHAFF and perhaps 2. GADWALL came in low at only 2.
