A few hours spent at Fishers Green in the Lee Valley on Monday failed to produce any sight or sound of any Nightingales, even though Brian had, heard a singing bird the previous day.
This morning we headed for Abberton Reservoir and immediately heard a Nightingale singing as soon as we left the car. We walked the approach road to the reserve and heard at least six Nightingales. However, seeing one proved much more difficult. I eventually managed brief views of a single bird.
We moved along to the causeway and found an Arctic Tern resting on a small buoy on the water between both causeways.
We checked the small flood opposite Billets Farm and after several scans from different areas along the road, I managed to find two Little Ringed Plovers. A check of the sheep fields around the farm added another early year tick when we found three Yellow Wagtails feeding among the short grass.
