It makes you spit!

This is the third morning this week that I have been greeted by this site in the Spit Hide. I have cleared it up on both mornings and had words with the youngsters  responsible on the first occasion when  I caught up with them but obviously this has had little effect. Perhaps the hide should be locked during the summer holidays...it always used to be but it seems a shame for visiting bird watchers to deny them the facility. 

Party time?
Willow Warbler
This is one of three in our silver birch this morning but there were a few more on the spit plus a Whitethroat, 2 Common Sandpipers on the Lagoon and a juvenile Peregrine murdering an unidentifiable bird at some distance on the Church Norton spit as it cried for mercy! Several parties of Swallows flew west during the day plus a singfle Swift.
