Dorset - Puddletown and Environs - Cruising the Cress Beds!

A Green Sandpiper at Puddletown Water Meadows prompted another round of the cress beds this evening. The water levels are still low along this stretch of the River Piddle but wishing for rain is a bit of a double edged sword for me as too much rain will certainly put the football at risk.

The cress beds held a couple of new additions across the sites. A Common Sandpiper was spied with the regular Green Sandpiper. A singing Cettis Warbler was heard just before dusk.

Tomorrow I plan on linking up with pal and naturalist Pete Alfrey who has pitched up in the county for a couple of days. I wonder if his moth trap will bring down any planes?!
