Lettuce planting all day today but managed to get out for an hour and the end of the day and it was well worth it. At Lidsey by the railway, a male Whinchat on the back fence and a male Ring Ouzel along the hedge line. As I was walking a back, a Great White Egret flew over heading south; good views but not for long sadly. I'm not sure where it can be heading?
At the sewage farm, hundreds of Swallows, Sand Martins & House Martins feeding over the tanks near "Chiffchaff hedge". Completely not bothered by my presence they fed constantly whilst I was there.
