Hundreds of Swifts careening about the marsh today and quite a few hirundines with them but despite checking nothing odd could be found. Plenty else to see though with the drake Garganey showing well and having a good fly round, Greenshank out on the flashes again, baby Lapwings in several spots, dashing Hobbies and great views of Marsh Harrier over the car park!

Encouragingly the female Bearded Tit was seen again in the Dragonfly Pool....
