Another sunny,spring like day (0900-1100)
From the Bucket wood,I could see (50) Teal,(1) Redshank,(2) Oystercatchers and (5) Cormorants,one of which was a fine adult P.c. sinenis + the usual gulls.The walk from there past the Sunken marsh and then along the track between the river and Abbey Meads produced,(3) Cetti`s Warblers,(2) Bullfinch and (1) Common Buzzard and a short burst of song from a Chiffchaff.On the lake the majority of winter water fowl had gone,with just (2) Pochard,(4) Gadwall and (3) Shoveler seen.The Heronry was busy,with at least (10) occupied nests,Walking past the east scrub a Green Woodpecker called and a Great spot drummed.Along the Mill stream the Little Egret was seen again as was a Kingfisher.
I also saw three small Tortoiseshell and last week on the 5th,a Brimstone in the garden.
