An afternoon in the Fens
After Sam’s football at Somersham, I got him a lift home and stayed in the area. Started at Ouse Fen. Nice views of several Marsh Harriers, two booming Bitterns (and one seen in flight), plus a couple of exotics like Egyptian Goose and Black Swan! The first Cuckoo of the year was also heard, though not seen.
Then went to Fen Drayton were I just viewed from the North end of Ferry lagoon. Pretty good: A male Scaup (present for a few days) was found and a single Arctic Tern put in a brief performance amongst the Common Terns. Five species of Waders too: Two Dunlin, a single Common Sandpiper and Snipe, and Oystercatchers and Redshanks.

Wheatear
A quick drive around the Fowlmere Road area looking for Dotterel None, but a good looking male Wheatear was found just north of Thriplow.

Checked suitable fields between Foxton and Fowlmere looking for Dotterel. No luck as expected, but four each of Grey Partridge and Red-legged Partridge, three Corn Buntings, and a Whitethroat.

Cambridge (a small part of), Fowlmere and Shepreth L-moor
A change of seating position at the office in Cambridge has given me a window view. Not too exciting, a view over a small concrete carpark to some huge Leylandii trees, but I decided to do a window list to ease the boredom. By lunchtime I had the following:
Woodpigeon
Chaffinch
Carrion Crow
Bored with that I went to Fowlmere and where the following was recorded:
Grasshopper Warbler
Snipe x 2
Turtle Dove – heard.
Cetti’s Warbler – heard.
Spotted Flycatcher
I also recorded the year’s first Speckled Woods and Orange Tips, and the first local Holly Blues (several were seen in Norfolk over the weekend.)
A record shot (if it is even a record – could be anything!) of the Grasshopper Warbler was taken.
Later I went for a quick walk with Tom around Shepreth L-moor where a Lesser Whitethroat was found.

Ashwell
No sign of the reported Dotterel. It was apparently flushed by a Buzzard just before myself and Sam arrived; we probably saw the culprit over the same spot. Six Grey Partridges were seen, and a Yellow Wagtail heard.
Ringed Plover; Little Ringed Plover; Redshank; Shelduck etc.
Little Ringed Plover - pair
Redshank - pair
