This was a pretty typical early autumn evening visit. Several warblers hid amongst Reed Buntings and Goldfinches in the hedgerow bordering the pool. A red-tailed passerine, presumably a Redstart, flushed ahead of me and then disappeared.
At the Flashes the air was filled with the calls of Green Sandpipers, but after half an hour of scrutiny and counts and recounts, I had to accept the sum total was 10 Green Sandpipers, five Snipe, three Teal, and 25 Lapwings.
The pool I referred to earlier is now definitely just a glorified puddle as this image testifies.
The sunset was pretty though.
