Minsmere

After staying at my parents, myself and Tom went to Minsmere to try for the French wing-tagged female Montagu’s Harrier. Unfortunately, despite being present all week it seemingly chose today to depart and it wasn’t seen. Despite that we had an excellent time:

Garden Warbler
Cetti’s Warbler x 5 (1 seen.)
Avocet x 30+
Black-tailed Godwit x 3
Mediterranean Gull
Hobby x 3
Little Tern – two pairs
Turnstone x 3

A Turtle Dove was calling from my parent’s garden as I left early evening.
