Dorney
A pectoral sandpiper was found at the Eton Wick flood earlier this week by the County Recorder for Berkshire. I've stayed away all week but this afternoon I walked the length of the wetlands (as some sort of penance for capitulating, I suppose). It was a nice bird, though you wouldn't know it from my picture. A record shot. A pecrec.
I walked back across the common, and saw a wheatear on the dried-up part of the flood. Skylarks were churruping. In the far corner of the common there were several meadow pipits. A glum, grey day - hope tomorrow's better!
