Walking around KGV with Jim this morning we had one eye on finding Common Sandpiper which had been reported yesterday. As we reached the magic corner I found my first Wheatear of 2026 and managed to alert Jim so he could enjoy it too. It posed for the camera but was always a little distant. Whilst watching it I found the drake Smew in the relief channel and a pair of Raven flew over and appear to be nesting again this year. A drake Goosander was the only other bird of note and we failed to find either the Scaup or the Slavonian Grebe on this circuit. I also didn't find the LRP I had yesterday or indeed the Common Sandpipers reported yesterday.
Year list now 169
