I’m still not finding much around here, so I went back to Blackwater this morning. I started with the Cormorants, who weren’t very active, them went on to Wildlife Drive, which was a bit better.
The wading birds are still scarce, and I only found one warbler, It looks as though most of the Swallows have moved on.
