Angry Williams...

A walk around the marshes and waterworks turned out to be a good idea in the end...(crossbills, see below)

These common Lizards were three of nine in the 'secret lizard spot' on the waterworks,

 Three Common Buzzards all over South and South East (ish) from 10 am till 11.30 am when i was joined by Jonathon.

A walk round the rest of the marsh was made worth while when 7 Crossbills flew North east calling just over head height.

A predicted bird for the patch this month and we'd only just been talking about them ten minutes before.

The best of the rest were two hobbies and at least three swallows over the  course of the day, perhaps locally breeding this year!

lots of these, plus...

There seem to be about 4/5 different singing male reed bunts on the marshes this year. better breeding numbers than last year.
