No Patchwork Challenge yearticks this weekend; two stakeouts for the Cetti's Warbler (which is still apparently present in the small reedbed in front of the hide at Mons Pool) were both fruitless, and there are still no Siskin anywhere to be found!
I did manage to see a nice little selection of waders on Saturday, with c.780 Golden Plover, 2 Dunlin and 2 Curlew on the Silt Lagoon, 3 Redshank on Mons Pool and a Green Sand heard on Ferry Lane Lake (seen today). The Kingfisher at Mons Pool has been performing well recently, and a smart Goosander put in a brief appearance there yesterday.
The gull roost last night was disappointing - plenty of Black-headed and Common Gulls, but just 5 Lesser Black-backs and a single adult Yellow-leg. On the wildfowl front,16 Goldeneye yesterday had fallen to 6 today, whilst a little party of 40 Pink-feet flew low over the site today, heading north.
