A rather quieter day than recently. Spring migration is all but over now as our summer visitors settle down to breed. Now’s the time for wandering rarities to turn up! Yeah, dream on!
The lack of spring rain contributed to the lack of wader species being seen as the usual areas that flood by the Thames are very dry.
