A very quiet days birding, the highlight of which was a
Lesser Whitethroat at Napton Reservoir just before 7am. I first sighted the bird at the top of the hawthorn hedge in the field adjacent to the south of the reservoir, before it began singing within the same hedge. Also of note were a single
Little Egret over, 20+
Swallows and a brief song of
Sedge Warbler from within the reed bed.

| Dunlin at Brandon Marsh today! |
Brandon was the quietest I've had for a while, here the pair of
Pintail remain on East Marsh Pool and the
Black-tailed Godwit was also in residence. No sign of yesterdays
Little Gulls but an addition was a single
Dunlin, which spent time on Lapwing Island. Reports of an
Osprey from the Ted Jury Hide late this evening are interesting and it could well spend the night before moving on, we shall see!
