Went out this morning, determined to catch
up on a few certainties and found the flock of Turnstone in the usual place accompanied by a Rock Pipit. Had a quick look
through the gull roost but nothing new there and nothing at sea. Just about to leave when I noticed a small
flock of ducks flying out to sea - Wigeon. Made my way to Kilgorman Marsh and flushed a
couple of Pheasant.
I had a good walk along the river and
flushed several flocks of Teal, one of which was accompanied by a Little Egret. I continued on up the river but saw nothing
new so headed back. Halfway back down
the river I heard a familiar call and quickly found a Chiffchaff feeding in the reeds along the edge of the river. While watching it, a Water Rail called a short distance away.
