A pair of
Wheatears were hopping around on the spit this morning just before high tide, along with five very vocal
Common Sandpipers, which at times broke out into song. As the tide rose, they relocated to the island roosts and I managed to get them all in the same photo.

Meanwhile, two pairs of
Whimbrel flew in, circled a couple of times over Passage House, and flew off west towards Newton Abbot.
The
Wheatears then flew across the estuary to the top of a dead tree near the water treatment works where they started flycatching.
The first
Sedge Warbler of the year was singing from a reed bed at Hackney Marshes, and a total of six
Reed Warblers were across the two sites. Surprisingly,
Wheatear numbers on the racecourse have dropped to four after yesterday's high.
