Chores around the house until midday, then out until dusk.
Started at Fowlmere, but the Jack Snipe hadn’t been seen for over an hour so I decided to leave with the plan to return at dusk. A male Gadwall, two Teals, and a Snipe were seen as well as a Migrant Hawker.
I then meandered slowly south through Barley, Nuthampstead, Meesden, looking but without seeing anything too special. Large flocks (well into the hundreds) of Wood Pigeon being seen feeding in fields.
Then on to Amwell where I managed to just miss two Ravens. A Peregrine was some compensation, as were five Red-crested Pochards. Three Buzzards and a Marsh Tit were also seen and at least one Cetti’s Warbler heard.
Shepreth held little apart from a nice rainbow!
So on to Fowlmere at dusk where the Jack Snipe was seen and a Tawny Owl heard.
