Large build up of YELLOW WAGTAILS
This evening with Kevin and Mike at Little Marlow GP - 35 Yellow Wagtails in meadow, 330 Greylags in at dusk and 1 Green Sandpiper (Alan Stevens)
Rowsham WHINCHATS
I went back down the fields tonight and found two WHINCHATS ( both looked like juveniles ) in the same place I found 1 this morning; tonight they were happily feeding from the tops of Wheat in a large field. However whilst I'm confident one was one of those from this morning, one clearly was different. I suspect the other I saw this morning was a female. So 3 today.
Also a nice little flock of YELLOW WAGTAILS in Rowsham earlier (Mike Wallen)

Large flock of YELLOW WAGTAILS at Dorney
On the way to the carpark check amongst the cattle. At least 22 Yellow Wagtail seen this morning (Kevin Duncan). 2-3 COMMON GREENSHANK were also still present today on the Seasonal Pool.
In a bumper autumn for WHINCHAT - Mike Wallen finds two in ROWSHAM

Two WHINCHATS this morning in Rowsham, both fem/ imm. My first in Rowsham ( proper ) in 10 years. Both were on fences but some distance apart. One was on a fence adjacent to an old manure heap which I have checked twice, for chats, on every walk down my fields for 10 years. Today I put my bins on the heap/ fence to finally see a chat !!
