There was a nice pair of species together on Swineham GP when the Red-necked Grebe was joined by a drake Garganey for most of the day. Not a pair of birds you’d expect to see bobbing about next to one another! There was also a nice mini fall of Little Ringed Plover with 4-5 present at Lytchett Fields along with 2 Green Sandpiper, 1 Ruff and 1 Spotted Redshank with 2 Spoonbill also out in the bay. There were still 6 Cattle Egret in fields at Bog Lane which is a good early spring sign that they might just hang on into the breeding season. At Swineham there were 2 Swallow with 20 Sand Martin and 3 Swallow went through Middlebere. Along the PC World Drain 1 Willow Warbler, 2 Blackcap and 4 Chiffchaff were singing.
