Greylake RSPB - Mon 23 Aug

My recent run of dipping birds continued this afternoon with a visit to Greylake RSPB to try and pick up Wood Sandpiper for my UK year list. I spent about forty minutes in the hide trying to find the target bird, but in strong winds there was no sign of it.
In fact, other than a Little Grebe feeding a chick and a couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls there was nothing to see, and my route back to the car resulted in a diversion as an overly protective Mute Swan stood by the boardwalk denying access to all as it's six cygnets rested alongside the path!
