Dorney
I paid a visit to the flood this morning and found a ruff still present on the Eton Wick side of the stream. I suppose it's the bird that was here on Friday evening; I couldn't always see the lovely warm wash of orangey-buff, but then I was looking into the sun.
A green sandpiper was also present. A grey wagtail was at the weir, and while I watched the ruff I was serenaded by a willow warbler. It's usually a mistake to go back for a second look, but with the sun moving round to a better angle I may be tempted. It's not as though we're spoilt with waders round here and the flood won't last forever.
