The weather has been a tale of two halves over the last couple of days with severe frosts during the night, down to -7 last night, and warm sunny days albeit with a chilled wind from the east.
The plan today was to shoot over to Lea Marston railway bridge to get the Curlew on the banks of the river Tame, which was successful with eight birds present, and then to proceed to Kingsbury & Fishers Mill in search of the first Little Ringed Plover or any other Summer migrant, of which there was no sign.
Good company was found in the shape of "Rugger Dave" who was suffering after playing at prop for 70 minutes on Sunday. Not sure if he was suffering from the playing or the drinking afterwards!
Birds present at Kingsbury included 94 Wigeon, 4 Snipe, 2 Shelduck, 2 Redshank & 1 Little Egret.
