I'm afraid this was a pretty abysmal visit. There were no real highlights. The Flash field produced 212 Greylag Geese, 13 Teal, 25 Mallard, six Green Sandpipers, nine Snipe, and a heard-only Kingfisher.
A large tit flock at Netherstead was accompanied by a couple of Chiffchaffs, but I saw no other species of warbler all morning.
At least 20 Meadow Pipits were in the area, but they didn't seem to be moving, and with the exception of a single Swallow heading purposefully south, the 60 or so hirundines were just feeding on any insects they could find.
Speaking of insects, it was left to a single Common Darter to provide me with my one and only photographic opportunity.
