Birds seen over the last two day included a Crane and two Redshank early morning yesterday and a Great White Egret and seven Little Egrets today.

A late afternoon walk around Farmoor yesterday produced a Temminck's Stint which was the first to be seen here for five years. The last record was on the 21st May 2018 when two were found. IT was pleasing to get it on Billy Farmoor list, which now stands at 192.

Two Turnstone that were seen on a ten minute visit early morning were still present when I returned in the afternoon. Other Waders seen today included 6 Oystercatcher, 2 Whimbrel and a Ringed Plover.
