I returned to the River Wandle at Poulters Park this
afternoon to catch up with the Yellow Browed Warbler which did show briefly in
the area of the small industrial area. One of the Siberian Chiffchaff was associating
with a Firecrest which was busy feeding during the spells of sunshine.
I spent the evening with Pete Alfrey covering the hides
along the permissible footpath to Beddington Farmlands. A Green Sandpiper was
viewed feeding along the exposed muddy edges in front of the hide at the
proposed area of wet grassland.
Five Shelduck were also noted: four on the wet grassland and
one on the north lake. There were a reasonable number of gulls the main purpose
of the visit but nothing of note was found before the majority departed to
roost on the reservoirs. Half a dozen Snipe were observed feeding on a small
island on the north lake. A full list will be posted on ebird.
