Patch tick

Sunday

I received a message off Richard this morning informing me he'd found a Reed Warbler in the "first hedge". Yes...a Reed Warbler! Context and all that. He'd also "had" a Spotted Fly.

Time to have a peep.

Despite a couple of thorough searches I couldn't find my Village tick. However, I did locate my first Whinchat (116) of the year. After returning home for a coffee I tried again. Still no sign of the SF on the corner of Taylor Lane BUT eventually I re-located the Reed Warbler. Much relief. This was my 180th species for Holmpton. Cheers Richard.

Monday

A couple of Turnstones on the morning constitutional.
