Friday May 3 - Mappleborough Green

 The birders taking part in tomorrow's alldayer must be getting a bit anxious. A grey drizzly morning has been producing the goods at Earlswood this morning. About eight Arctic Terns and a Whimbrel have migrated north-eastwards over the site in the last few hours.

Typically I dithered about what to do, and thinking I had missed all the action plumped for Mappleborough Green.

Any hope of a downed wader proved unfounded but I did at least see two Little Egrets and a Yellow Wagtail.

Yellow Wagtail

My plan, such as it is, is to cover my three favoured sites in three days. So that means Earlswood tomorrow and Morton Bagot on Sunday.
