Today's Highlights

This morning was quite eventful. Common Sandpiper was on the barley bales. A Lesser Whitethroat was working its way along the hedges by the jetty. A Waxwing called and flew over heading south-west into Bucks – obviously it didn’t know that it should be heading the other way by now. Plenty of other warbler about as well. There was also a Brambling by the hide and we could hear a Reed Warbler from the hide. Two Wigeon and five Teal were lingering by the hide as well. The ploughed field had four Wheatears in that then moved over onto the Dry Canal.


Ian Williams heard a Grasshopper Warbler from the Cemetery track and some visitors reported one from Marsworth Res as well (per Roy Hargreaves)

Meanwhile, Steve Rodwell had 24 Northern Wheatears and a male RING OUZEL at Ivinghoe Beacon
