We heard that 2 Dartford Warblers had been seen around the area by the Britannia Public house, so we set about finding them & drive around that area.
Jimmy spots a Stonechat & we think that the Warblers would be some where near to that, & it's not long before we find one of the Warblers around the bottom of the bushes.
We stay in the car & the bird came near to us for a few photos & the other one soon shows as well so a good start to the day.
Off to have a look from the hide where we see 2 Great white Egrets & something that I had not seen before when a Marsh Harrier landed on a branch & then dropped into the water & just hung about there for 20 minutes or more.
A Kingfisher showed on &off but only usual stuff apart from that.
A walk on the beach watching the Gulls was nice. A report says that 6 Jack snipe had been seen at Elmley so with Brian needing a tick we head off but after a few drives up & down the main track it's a dip. We do sea a few Marsh Harrier & a group of Red-legged Partridge but not a lot about despite there being a fair amount of water about.
