Local Patch - 17/05/09
A narrow band of heavy rain failed to drop any scarce terns on to the site. After the rain, a Reed Warbler finally sat still to dry out.
A Little Ringed Plover feeding on the 'scrape'.

Peppershot.
The story, as told in the June edition of 'Birdwatch' magazine, is of Essex birder of Nigel Pepper who 'fessed up' to making a false claim of Hermit Thrush at Chipping Ongar in October 1994. His reason ? - a protest against supression of rarities in Essex. I have had occasion to give medical aid to someone who shot themselves in the foot. I do suspect, however, that Mr Pepper is beyond my help...

Temminck's Stint @ Castle Mill GP
Plenty of waders reflecting how good these gravel workings are at the moment. Amongst the usual suspects a Temminck's Stint was the pick of the bunch - courtesy of 'Bird Finder Blain' !.
