Lesser Yellowlegs and Redstart

A Lesser Yellowlegs was at Earith, so I went along for a look with Tom, who made an excellent sketch.

I then went on my own to a blustery Therfield Heath looking for migrants, but with no luck I gave up when the rain started.

Driving home, the rain stopped and so I had a look around Shepreth L-moor. Here there were eighty-nine Golden Plovers in summer plumage, plus a Treecreeper (first I've seen here), but best of all, a splendid male Redstart.

Another Bank Vole caught, a large one weighing 25 grammes.
