The above is a quote on the Staffordshire thread from Steve Nuttall, king of Midlands' patch watching, for the prospects tomorrow. Not being one to doubt such wisdom I will try to get down for a few hours prior to the survey work starting (for the final time) at 10am on the Flashes. The rain is due to start about 1-ish so if anyone is around tomorrow afternoon / evening it may be a productive visit.
Ferg and myself said the same today during a reci around the hen brook/feeding station for likely ringing spots. In this area several reed warblers were in the blackthorn and reeds as well as blackcap, willow warblers, c10 chiffs and a small influx of chaffinch 5+. We were going to have an early morning ringing session (Thursday) but the projected heavy rain put pay to that. So I will try to get down at some stage tomorrow but intend to be there all day Friday.
Also saw 5 green sand 2 common, redshank and Imm Shelduck
