With a lot to be done on the domestic front this weekend there wasn’t a lot of time for birds. Two quick visits to the Coate flood water and a leisurely walk from home to Coate and back yesterday evening was about it. The flood water visits turned up a single Redshank and my first Yellow Wagtail of the year along with Lapwing, Reed Bunting and Swallows while on the evening walk there was a Grey Wagtail, a Common Sandpiper and low over the lake dozens of House Martins and Swallows. The dog walk this evening got me a soaking and three singing Corn Buntings.
