Quick look today, wildfowl numbers are dropping? Less Water Rails calling than in the past few weeks - and still no sign of this Cetti's Warbler :( (I must have put in over 5 hours waiting by the reedbed edge and not even heard a squeak!)

Wigeon c50
Teal c70
Stonechat 1m 1f
Kestrel 1
Reed Bunting c12
Meadow Pipit 5
Water Rail c5 heard
Grey Heron 1
Mallard 8

Not very much at all!

Hi Andy

Popped in to Marston on the way through the county, circa 1.30-2.10pm today, the 1wf Cetti's is still present, it was about 30m east of its normal spot in the 'chat' field, at the spot with the isolated clump of Phrag bisected by a wet 'drain'. Only saw it in flight but it called several times. Also the regular chats, rails etc....

cheers

Alex
