When they first arrive Sedge Warblers are actually quite shy and although they sing well, they seldom become very showy until they are comfortable with their surroundings so I was quite pleased to actually see one of the 16 males that were counted out on the circuit today. Even managed a couple of first glimpse shots!
Eight Wheatear were seen on the Ouzel Fields and a few Sand Martins and Swallows were over Aveley Pools and I saw my first Common Tern and Whitethroat of the year.
