A morning trip out again and it was a wonderful Spring day at last. I stayed local and made a flying visit to the reservoir where a single Common Sandpiper was on the northern causeway. Feeding over West Pool and the southern end of the reservoir, loads of Swallows and Sand Martins.
With nothing much else around I headed in to East Coker and visited the Water Treatment Works. There was no sign of the Siberian Chiffchaff but there had been a mini-fall of Willow Warblers with at least ten feeding on the sewage beds and another couple singing. There were only a couple of Chiffchaffs present today, but a Blackcap was a new arrival. In fields alongside the WTW I located a Wheatear and a Linnet was singing away. At least two Yellowhammers were seen as were at least three Skylarks.
