Hottest day of the year so far…

The heat is definitely having an effect on the birdwatchers more than the birds, as more and more birds arrive on their journey south. At Lytchett Bay an impressive list of 11 waders which included 1 Ruff, 1 Little Ringed Plover, 5 Greenshank, 5 Green Sandpiper, 2 Whimbrel, 8 Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Common Sandpiper, 20+ Lapwing, Curlew and Redshank, along with 18 flyover Crossbill and a Hobby. At Bestwall a Grasshopper Warbler was heard reeling, along with 3 Sedge Warbler and 3 Med Gulls at Swimeham.
