Water Pipit

A glorious morning for my second long morning ride out to the Nene Washes. A misty 06:30 start had me worried I wouldn't see much but by the time I was at the Dog in a Doublet, just over an hour later, the mist had cleared. No sign of any Garganey, no raptors and no waders other than the breeding birds; in fact overall rather disappointing. Plenty of time for all that though so quite satisfied to settle for a couple of Water Pipits towards the end of the central drove.

57 species seen doing the 40km from home to the end of the drove and back to work. Highlights were the many Chiffchaffs singing along Oundle Road, 3 Blackcaps singing around King's Dyke, 3 Green Sandpipers, a Kingfisher and a Grey Wagtail at the Sewage Works, another Grey Wagtail at the Town Bridge and a Little Egret on the washes.
