Dorney
The Roundmoor Ditch was almost brimful late afternoon, and the flood in the Eton Wick field was huge.
However, with muddy margins mostly gone it's probably more attractive to ducks than waders. There was no sign of the pectoral sandpiper, but my first wigeon of the autumn were seen here.
Many swallows and house martins were swooping over the flood and there was at least one sand martin amongst them; possibly my latest ever.
P.S. I've just learnt that a little stint was there this evening. Dam, I'll have to twitch again. I do love a little stint!
There were ninety-five greylag geese on the Jubilee River in Bucks, but I guess these are just feral birds.
