The Cattle Egret run continued with 2 found out on the salt marsh at Lytchett Bay mid afternoon, which sadly didn’t linger long as they took off and headed south over the railway bridge. Also near by on Lytchett Fields was the Lesser Yellowlegs and Green-winged Teal. Over Swineham GP late evening c280 Sand Martin were feeding with 5 Swallow in amongst them.
