No Ring Ouzel early this morning, and neither did I spot the Whinchat or Groppers that others later reported. But Willy Warblers, Reed Buntings and Linnet are all nice.

At Sands Lake, a Grey Wagtail on the island was a nice sighting; tits and warblers were thronging the trees and also present were a Cormorant, Grey Heron, Tufties, Shoveller and Gadwall. No sign of ducklings - either the pale Mallard who had had some in attendance on Sunday has lost them, or she has a doppelgänger.
