14/04/12 barking bay

Arrived at the patch about 9.00 (nowhere near as early as i'd hoped) wasn't much near the jetty only black headed gulls and shelduck with a few cormorants on the jetty so i walked along the path and went onto the flat area next to the centre and saw 1 wheatear on a fence post next to the earth mound. Walked along the path to the end and a Swallow flew across as i reached the middle ditch. Spent the next few hours wandering about, but only came across the usual suspects I decided to cross Renwick rd and try to get a photo of a chiffchaff in the birch wood. Whilst there  i had 2 chiff chaff, 1 greater spotted woodpecker and my first Blackcap. 1 in the middle of the wood and another at the edge, this bird was with three other birds but i couldn't see whether or not these were also blackcap.
