Dunstable STW Migrants

Today a few waders at last. Two Redshank were chased off the scrape by the local Moorhen. The 'local' pair of Little-ringed Plover were joined by a second male. After a spate of threat posturing the intruder flew off. A pair of Grey Partridge took some time out for a dust bath. Barn Swallow numbers increased to fourteen late afternoon, and three Willow Warbler were singing in the plantation.

Dunstable STW: Migrants at last

A Clear night to the south with fog locally - could we see some migrants ? Well, once the fog had cleared three Sand Martin flew through and a pair of Little-ringed Plover appeared. Residents included an obliging Kingfisher which posed briefly, and the 'plastic' pair of Whooper Swan took time out to preen.
