With little change on the patch recently and temperatures peaking at 37.5 degrees yesterday it has become increasingly difficult to get motivated to walk around the patch, but this morning I did pick up a couple of new birds, the first was a Large Hawk Cuckoo presumably a migrant heading north and the other being a Forest Wagtail also presumably on it's way north.
Plaintive Cuckoo's and Asian Koel seemed to be calling from everywhere, with up to a dozen of each present around the site. Far fewer waders this morning with just 4 Grey-headed Lapwing, Green Sandpiper, 10 Wood Sandpiper and 4 Little Ringed Plover. Other noteworthy species noted included Watercock, 2 Ashy Minivet, female Eastern Marsh Harrier, 2 Bhraminy Kite, 8 Golden Weaver and 2 Red Avadavat.
