Variety Morning

A decent morning started at Dawson's Corner with a juvenile Common Whitethroat with an adult, and two Sand Martin hawking insects over the Horse Paddock. At the Mill Lakes a male Ruddy Duck was near Willow Island, a Little Grebe was near Tern Island, an adult Great Crested Grebe still on the nest, and a juvenile Grey Heron was on the bank opposite the Dipping Pond Viewpoint. A mixed tit flock at Willow Pools held a family party of Willow Tit and a single Goldcrest. My first Grey Wagtail of the year flushed from the north end of lake when a dog entered the water. Many warblers have begun singing again.
