A Sandwich is Better than Nothing

I couldn't summon up the enthusiasm to cycle over to Beer for the Ring Ouzel Phil Abbott found yesterday but well done to him. I got as far as Tower Hide though - albeit without my DSLR - and was satisfied with my first Sandwich Tern of the Spring. I grabbed this video clip through the scope before it flew off and a couple of people saw it at least, including 2 in the hide who'd never seen one! Nice... Anyhow, Saturday proved that it's often productive to be active late in the day as I picked up a Marsh Harrier from the bike passing over Tower Hide and dropping into Axe Marsh reedbed. I'm told it's still around today. Earlier, I'd enjoyed a superb gaggle of Willow Warblers at Borrow Pit...
