A stroll around West Beach and the back of the golf course this morning proved very quiet, singles of Wheatear and Cetti's Warbler were the highlights, with a few Sandwich Tern offshore, with several of each Reed Warbler, Whitethroat and Blackcap and evidence of breeding Meadow Pipit.

Onto Marsh Farm with 2-3 Cuckoo flying around the area, pairs of Common Tern, Great-crested Grebe, and Pochard, good numbers of Reed Warbler still singing with lesser numbers of Sedge,Yellowhammer, and Reed Bunting, 7 Swift, 2 Cetti's Warbler  and singles of Lapwing, and Grey Heron.
