Just a brief post today. No birding planned over the coming weekend as we'll be celebrating the holy occasion of Max's birthday by drinking plenty of wine and eating Italian food. However, as I had the day off I persuaded Max to finish work early for a visit to Ryall GPs.
Green Sandpiper numbers had now swelled to nine, two Common Sandpipers were still present and five Common Snipe were new arrivals. There was a large gathering of hirundines near the gravel extracting machinery; mainly Sand Martins and there were also several juv Pied Wagtails around.
Plenty of Painted Lady butterflies on the wing....


Along with the usual Common Darters...

And making our day, this baby Toad.
