Time was not on my side this morning but managed a quick trip with Bob to the pond for a search of the Firecrest that was seen and photographed in Grays Barn yesterday. No luck in the hour we had but did see Buzzard, Great-spotted Woodpecker and 2 Green Woodpecker. Met up with Steve Batt on his way round and he had seen male Wheatear on farborough bank. Rained most of the afternoon so gave birding a rest.

Steve Whitehose has re-identified yesterdays Small Quaker as a small Common Quaker - many thanks Steve
