I had two visits to the patch over the weekend. Saturday's visit produced a NFY Feral Pigeon heading north, but not loads else; the previous day's 38 Goldeneye had reduced to 18, and the 2 Ringed Plovers were on Mons Pool, but there was no sign of the LRP.
Sunday saw a good little selection of waders around Collingham, including a single Dunlin (a rather short-billed bird, presumably an arctica/schinzii) on Mons Pool, and an LRP and 7 Snipe on the Silt Lagoon. Other bits 'n pieces included a 2CY LBBG, 100 Fieldfare and 5 singing Chiffchaffs. Meering hosted at least 4 singing Chiffchaffs also, and 2 Sand Martins battling into a strong westerly wind were my first since the 13th March.
Today, I had a brief end-of-the-month visit to Mons Pool; there wasn't much of note and my visit was curtailed by driving sleet/hail, so my first quarter score for Patchwork Challenge is 97 species and 104 points, with 33 complete lists and 1193 records for BirdTrack.
