Rodden Hive - Sun 2 Oct

After a short drive we arrived at Langton Herring and walked out to Rodden Hive. Again we noted loads of Meadow Pipits as we walked along and as we neared The Fleet a ploughed field produced at least thirty Mediterranean Gulls in with a number of Black-headed Gulls. The hedgerow produced a Wheatear and two Stonechat as several Red Admiral butterflies. As we scanned the water it didn't take me too long to locate the Black-necked Grebe which showed really well, if a bit distant. There was not much in the way of variety on the water so we headed back to the car with the target bird safely ticked off. After a good amount of birding we decided to call it a day and headed back home.
