4th April

Spent a good long time at Grafham Water from first light where the highlights included a Sandwich Tern off the lagoons and my first singing Sedge Warbler of the year in the reeds around the lagoons where there were also 4 Avocets and singing Willow Warbler, 6+ Blackcaps and a few Cetti’s Warblers; other birds included 2 very smart looking male Bramblings, 5 Redshank, a few Swallows, 2 Grey Partridges and a Kingfisher.

Record shot of the Sandwich Tern - good numbers were moving through the Midlands at the time
