Monday 18th April

The first Reed Warbler of the year was at the Main Pond but other passerine migrants were again in short supply. The first fledgling of the year was by the First Pond, a Song Thrush. Elsewhere 30+ Whimbrel were in the estuary, a Great Northern Diver was offshore and c30 Sandwich Tern were on site with a similar number off Mudbank Lane, Exmouth, along with two Pale-bellied Brent Geese.
