Arriving at 6.15 Saturday morning with the intent of adding Turnstone,Black tern, Sedge warbler & Yellow wagtail by 2pm i only had Sedge warbler & Black tern. Sunday Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday wasn't any better, in fact Paul now had a male Redstart & Lesser whitethroat to add to my wish list.
I managed to locate a lesser whitethroat but not the others. As well as seeing Paul over there l also came across Shaun, Dave & Geoff Harding during the week its good to see more birders over there. Geoff glimpsed a female Redstart on the mound near where Paul saw the male but they both became very elusive or moved on as were not seen again. Plenty of Whitethroats and Wheatears about as well as well as 3 or more Reed warblers and 2 Sedge Warblers.
Also Managed a couple of afternoon trips to Rainham adding Little ringed Plover and Avocet to the Rainham list amongst others. With the weather as crap as its been photographs were lousy at both Barking & Rainham and those here are the best of the bunch.
