Mini-fall

Frontal conditions produced a little fall at the Farmlands today with site year ticks including 1 Little Gull, 1 Willow Warbler and 3 House Martins, with 12 Sand Martin, 5 Swallow, 4 Chiffchaff, 3 Blackcap and a rather unseasonal female Stonechat.  

On the winter lingering front were 2 Green Sandpiper, 7 Water Pipit, 70+ Teal and 5 Snipe and there was also 4 Shelduck on 100 acre.

 First-winter Little Gull (above and below) 

 Female Stonechat - an April rarity locally 
 Teals over 100 acre- still 70+ around 
 'Silver Fox'
Frankie found this gall- one in the to be identified box
