Devil Birder

Nice trip to the farm today. I saw 2 Greenshank, 4 or 5 Green Sandpipers, 1 Common Sandpiper and a glorious Hobby. Scoped 2 Peregrines in Sutton from the bund. It was also nice watching a juvenile Kestrel begging for food from its mother while the male was hunting in the south east corner.The southern enclosed lagoon was looking brilliant for Waders and I was really expecting to find something good, but went home disappointed.

Been dreaming about the 6 weeks of wader hunting freedom I've got coming up. I love finding inland waders, even if they're really common on the coast like Dunlin and Knot. Need to make a point of catching up with the Godwits, Grey and Golden Plovers + Oystercatcher this year for my Beddington/local lists. Missed an 'Oyk' yesterday.
