| Lapwing, Vanellus vanellus |
At 8am on Tuesday morning the light was excellent so I spent
a couple of hours on the beach with Oystercatchers, Turnstones and dozens of
Sanderlings. In the afternoon I enjoyed a few hours at Arundel WWT. Lapwings are gathering in front of the hide bearing their name. A
Goldcrest and Firecrest evaded several photographers near the woodland feeders
as they flitted among the bushes and trees. I finally managed a Firecrest shot from
the boardwalk at the entrance.
On a grey Wednesday morning I joined Garry and MDT members
at Heyshott for another work party. As we departed at midday the sun burst
through so I visited nearby Iping Common and was rewarded with views of
Dartford Warblers and a Great Grey Shrike. It was good to meet Paul again with friends
Gerry and David from East Sussex.
