Visits to several sites.

 Pathways: A pair of KINGFISHER back on site with, BLACKCAP, CHIFFCHAFF and a pair of BUZZARD. Stev had a pair of PARTRIDGE fly over the farm so assumed RED LEGGED.

Oulton Marsh: First walk round this year brought in some new migrants with the best being GRASSHOPPER WARBLER with two birds reeling. Altogether 40 species on site with my first for year as a YELLOW WAGTAIL. Got rather scared when I glimsed a view of a small brown jobby sitting on reed in a ditch. Surprised when it turned out to be a MEADOW PIPIT. Not the usual place to find such a bird.  Also two WATER RAIL, GREEN WOOD and two calling WILLOW WARBLER.
