| Just two of yesterdays seven Yellow Wagtails were located today. |
A later and somewhat fragmented visit to Napton Reservoir today. When I arrived I was surprised to find an older couple, who I hasten to add had driven here, feeding the ducks and accompanied by the yappiest dog you'd wish to hear. I had to smile but frankly, any chance of finding anything new had greatly diminished. I only managed two of yesterdays seven
Yellow Wagtails and the reedbed held a singing
Reed Warbler and two
Sedge Warblers. After a short while, I left to try my luck at some hedge bashing.

| Two Common Whitethroats at the marina today ( A library image of mine from last year) |
The best results today were at the marina, where while sitting enjoying a coffee on the deck my first
Common Whitethroat of the year appeared on top of a nearby hawthorn.

| Barn Owl quartering the dog exercise field this evening |
In the early evening, Dazza and I enjoyed an excellent half-hour watching a
Barn Owl quartering the dog exercise field and while here a second or same
Common Whitethroat was noted.
