No Black Redstart

A Black Redstart was reported yesterday in the caravan site alongside the Lagoon but I had no success in tracking it down...I just hoped that this villain of the peace was not responsible....

Male Sparrow Hawk...on the look out.

 

 

Two drake Pochards were on the Lagoon yesterday but they too, seemed to have disappeared. A Water Rail was calling in the reedbed at the far end of the Lagoon and there was no shortage of Little Grebes.

Time was short today so I headed  home quickly but noticed a Knot flock of about 250 birds  wheeling over the shingle bank and 13 Goldfinches were on the niger seed feeder.
