A day of two halfs.

This morning, surprise surprise, pouring rain. Again. However, at least 11 Sand martins had arrived and I also heard a Chiffchaff though, frustratingly, couldn't see it (so it doesn't count for the year-list!). Brents still there though. This afternoon, warm and sunny! A couple of Short-eared Owls flying around - drying out? The Reserve is awash, with so much recent rain and one of the highest tides of the year. Fortunately, I don't think any Lapwings are on eggs yet, as they'd be floating! Seems to be raining again tonight...
