Destination Dunge!
We arrived at Gallaways for first light and found at least fifteen Whinchat, ten or more Wheatear lot's of Stonechats and a single Spotted Flycatcher but despite a good search during the morning including a long walk through the Long Pit area we failed to find anything else on the move. A pair of Raven flew over as we searched and a Sprawk flew between us as we searched the lighthouse garden.

A single Cattle Egret remained at the farm with yesterdays other ten seemingly departed.

The only other thing of note was a Grass Snake swimming in the Long Pit.

On the way home we stopped for another hour an hour with the Wanstead Shrike and it showed really well for us enabling a couple of slightly improved images.

No year ticks but a good days birding with the Jims all the same.
