Couple of black tailed godwit in the harbour today
 
Not atypically, things seem to have slowed down a bit as we head into the weekend. There is no news from Hengistbury or Wick, while Stanpit could muster just 4 Greenshank, 2 Common Sandpiper, 3 Black-tailed Godwit, 8 Ringed Plover and up to 30 Dunlin. In addition, Bearded Tit were heard on Priory Marsh, a Hobby hunted the local Sand Martin and South Marsh hosted a constant twenty or so loafing Mediterranean Gull, although there was a steady turnover of birds meaning a good deal more were actually involved.

Yep

I saw a Buzzard on the way back Makeney to Belper toniggt. It was carrying Wee Billy back to the nest for the chicks.

scorchio
 
August 1st A really hot day saw an equally decent selection of birds. At around 7:00 an Osprey cut through the area to the east, while an hour earlier a flock of 26 Crossbill headed over Wick in the same direction. A couple of Wood Sandpiper came up from the Wooden Bridge area and a Green Sandpiper left Priory Marsh to settle in Central Marsh, with other waders recorded coming courtesy of: a Spotted Redshank west, likewise 11 Greenshank,  including a flock of seven, and a Grey Plover; 3 Common Sandpiper, 12 Whimbrel, 2 Sanderling and 3 Ringed Plover. There was also a surprising number of passerine migrants about Stanpit, not least a Wood Warbler in the North Scrubs along with 10 or so Willow Warbler. Elsewhere about the marsh, there was a juvenile Cuckoo, a Grasshopper Warbler, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 70 Sedge Warbler and a Yellow Wagtail. Aerially, 85 Sand Martin headed into the easterly wind and 37 Common Tern went with the breeze; also a further 17 Common Tern settled and at least 3 Little Tern around. Finally, five or so Bearded Tit were logged.
