Wednesday July 8

A cool sunny evening. Not much to report really. A pair of Teal on the drying out pool, three Green Sandpipers and a handful of Lapwings on the flash.

The highlight was a small flock of mixed finches and warblers, including Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Whitethroats, and a very angry Lesser Whitethroat which mobbed me with its hard "tuck" calls. Presumably I was uncomfortably near its nest or fledglings.
