Normality on the patch

After the excitement of Friday, it was back to reality on the patch; a few hours yesterday didn't produce a massive amount, although there were 2 nice White Wagtails in with 5 Yellows and a couple of Pieds, and there seemed to be lots of Swallows around. The best waders were single Redshank and Curlew, and I also stumbled across the silent male Cuckoo again, although it did start calling a bit later on. At Meering, it was nice to come across an Oystercatcher on a nest. 

Today, I struggled with motivation but had a quick visit to Girton Pits where I was pleased to find a singing Willow Tit (no sign of any female accompanying it - hopefully on a nest somewhere?). I need to check out the rest of this site soon, as hopefully there are more birds out there.
