A Blackcap singing near the car park started the morning well. Late this afternoon a message from Colin of a least one Swallow with the Sand Martins. I arrived at Mallard Pond to an empty sky and windy conditions, the brief walk to Kingfisher Pond and c20 Sand Martins and a Swallow feeding vigorously. On the walk back to the Priory Bridge 2 Redpolls flew over north, and I believe Colin had Redpolls from Kingfisher Hide too at the opposite end of the Reserve.
