Dorney Wetlands
A green sandpiper was at the weir. I saw my first swallow of the year but managed to miss a redstart.
Egypt Woods
In the afternoon, I had the pleasure of Greger's company - chiefly, I suspect, so that he could use some new software on his mobile....
It records the length, duration and elevation of your walk - plus your speed and how many calories you burn. It's especially useful here (superimposed on the satellite photo) because not all these paths are shown on the OS map; now I can plot my lesser spotted woodpecker sightings more accurately.
The woods were quiet, but from the path we did briefly see a very high firecrest which was, frustratingly, chased further into the trees by a great tit.
