Booted Warbler dip

News of a Booted Warbler at Hadston Carrs yesterday made us go there this morning, but unfortunately even after thorough searching we could not find the bird. We dedcided to have a look at Chevington where the Spotted Crake showed quite well, a Black Tern flew around the back of the north pool (my first since 2008!) and a Spotted Redshank fed in the shallows.

Wader numbers at Bothal are quite good at the moment. Today there were 6 Black-tailed Godwits, 12 Ruff, 5 Greenshank and a Common Sandpiper.
