A few more migrants

Although I wasn't able to get to Meering on thursday to see the Whinchat, I did call into Holme Pierrepont en route to Grantham, hoping for some waders; whilst there were a few Dunlin and Ringed Plovers, best was in fact the 1st summer Little Gull on the A52 Pit. This had been seen the day before but I hadn't really considered that it would still be around, so a pleasant surprise.

This morning at Collingham, there were loads of warblers around the site, but I still can't find a Garden Warbler there. It was also very nice to hear a Turtle Dove purring, albeit briefly, from the Northcroft Lane area, and a Cuckoo  calling away too. But no waders on Mons Pool!
