No Time

After yesterdays excess and a morning of torrential rain I felt it would be a bit like after the big show,in the event I took a short walk around the patch as I had an appointment early evening and came away feeling that I was missing out on another yesterday! .Time meant I could not take in the top fields , but around the other field margins were ,1 BUZZARD, 1 RED LEGGED PARTRIDGE, GREATER SPOTTED WOODPECKER and 2 PIED WAGTAIL OVER. It was obvious that an influx of BLACKCAP had taken place with 10 been seen/heard. 1 singing REDSTART in the distance was nice and it was pleasing to see 5 WHITETHROAT in the same places as last year.After yesterdays WHINCHAT low and behold another popped up , 2 chiffchaff made up the migrant tally .An added bonus was a calling CURLEW over the flooded river meadows . I came away feeling that I had missed alot of birds , so lets hope I get more time tommorrow. Oh I FORGOT THERE WERE 8 SWALLOW and 1 SWIFT over
