It's been a quiet couple of days. On Saturday (5th) I headed over to St. Martins with Lincs birder Dean
Nicholson. Although a pleasant walk around the island, passerines were quite thin on the ground with a couple of Yellow-browds and Lesser Whitethroat being the only birds of note. Waders were in good numbers though along the southern beach with 200+ Sanderling, 60+Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin, 2 Bar-wits and a Grey Plover. On retuning to St Mary's I caught the bus up to Watermill where there was an Arctice Warbler at Newford Duckpond.

Today (6th) I went up through the airport and then down to Porthelick, through Carn Friars, Normandy and then around Green Farm and Content Farm. I was pretty gutted that after spending almost two hours on the airfield at the windsock that I failed to find a Short-toed Lark that spend the day lurking on the opposite side of the runway. The rest of the day was pretty quiet with only a few common migrants as reward to some hard work in the field.
