It was a pretty quiet affair this weekend with just a few odds and ends reported. In Brands Bay there were 2 Lapwing, 10 Bar-tailed Godwit and 26 Black-tailed Godwit. At RSPB Lytchett Fields there were 22 Lapwing, 7 Curlew in the Bay, 1 Green Sandpiper, 14 Redshank, 2 Black-tailed Godwit and a good mix of newly fledged common bird species. There were large gatherings of Swift over Swineham GP and a Cuckoo still on Slepe Heath. A rave/festival in a field near Soldiers Road hampered any sound recording efforts in the lower Frome Valley on Saturday night, so not many birds around unfortunately. However, if anyone wants any clips of load drum and base beating out across the heathland at 3am then let me know!
