Ring Ouzels

Lade  - cool, dry, sunny, NE 4 - A brisk wind off the bay kept temperatures low until the mist burned off around mid-morning. A circuit of the local patch welcomed two new overnight arrivals in the form of Whitethroat and Reed Warbler around the ponds and a Lesser Whitethroat behind the `mirrors` where several Sedge, Willow and Cetti`s Warblers were in good voice. At the top end of north lake a pair of Ring Ouzels broke cover and a Greenshank flew over calling. On the beach on a falling tide the usual Curlews, Oystercatchers, 10 Bar-tailed Godwits, two Ringed Plovers and 20 Sandwich Terns the highlights.
  There was no real change across the peninsula today with the two Cattle Egrets and a Crane still on Dengemarsh, plus a few Greenshanks and Barwits through.
