A few species added to the Druridge patch list tonight.
I've been working all weekend so a late afternoon visit today was all I could manage. First bird of the visit was a swift flying north over the dunes.
The Budge fields are looking great for both passage and breeding waders at the moment. 13 black-tailed godwits were there this afternoon and there are at least 10 'sitting' lapwings - the best it's been for them for some years.
Blackcap, sedge warbler and water rail were also added to the patch list today, bringing the total species to 110 and the Patchwork challenge points total to 129.
106 swift
107 water rail
108 blackcap
109 sedge warbler
110 black-tailed godwit
Wednesday, walked Druridge to Hauxley on return had 2 Avocets drop into the flashes before the turning circle for all of 20 seconds. Popped in from Cresswell but not impressed by all accounts. Didn't even have time to get camera out!
