April 24th
Dorney Wetlands
There was a first female wheatear amongst the four males so the wheels are turning. Who knows, maybe a whinchat next week? A buzzard over today was a bit of a treat albeit a short one is it had a quick look then drifted off north.
The gropper is still reeling and showed well for about twenty minutes before I got here. I only had a bit of reeling and a brief view as it dropped out of sight.
Weekends
are very dispiriting at DW with loads of dog walkers completely ignoring
the signs asking them to keep their pets on leads. I will be updating my
"Named
& shamed" page showing the worst offenders.
