Cracking Grasshoper

Morning walk down Lin Dyke 30th June

50+ Gadwall in various stages of eclipse on Lin Dyke Flash

Large flocks of Swifts hawking plus large numbers of Sand Martins skimming Lin Dyke Pool with many gathering trying to perch on a bush reaching up out of the water

Distant Buzzard was seen circling 

A Cuckoo was heard and also had a great view of it as it flew over the path in front of me 

Common Tern flew overhead

Then a Grasshopper Warbler heard reeling close by, I had a look over into the meadow to see if I could see it, as it sounded very close, then I met a couple of local birders who put me onto the Grasshopper Warbler as it showed well singing from a scrub rose, I got terrific views of it as it reeled from a perch within the bush
