The Lesser of two Whitethroats

After work tonight, a look at the paddocks at Cotham Flash produced at least 10 Yellow Wagtails (with probably more present) and 2 Wheatears; last night there were 17 Yellow Wags. My quest for a Blue-headed Wagtail here continues. 

I then had a run round Collingham, where there was a Lesser Whitethroat in the hedge at the Silt Lagoon, with Common Whitethroat, Blackcap and lots of Chiffs and Willows also in the area. Mons Pool held 4 Dunlin, 3 Redshank, and 2 Curlew which flew in from the north. I then saw out the evening at the back of Meering Marsh. I was hoping for a Gropper, but had to make do with couple of Sedge Warblers, and another Lesser Whitethroat
