Usual place

Two whinchats were present again at the far side of the cattle field on the edge of the common.


Two wheatears were also there. Two yellow wagtails were with the cattle. The flood has been topped up by yesterday's rain but I couldn't see anything of note. A common sandpiper was again present at the weir.

I heard but didn't see a meadow pipit on the common, and sand martins were among house martins and swallows over both the common and the Jubilee River.
