Dorney
The meadow pipit was snapped yesterday in late golden sunshine, in the same tree as the rock pipit in November.
Today was colder and duller. This chiffchaff is probably not the Siberian, although it could be. I photographed it for no other reason than that it sat still for long enough.
When all the birds on the flood went up I realised that eight golden plover were among the gulls and lapwings.
A Cetti's warbler was foraging and didn't care who knew it. A goldcrest and a wren moved through the low branches. A green sandpiper flew unhurriedly from the common to the field flood and then away across the Jubilee River. Nice to hear that call for the first time this year.
