College Lake + Tring Res - 16.8.20

Wood Sandpiper

Garganey

With 3 potential year ticks up for grabs I headed to the patch. First stop was College Lake where from the Octagon hide I connected with the smart Wood Sandpiper and an added bonus of a juvenile Garganey which I was hoping to see at Wilstone!

Black-necked Grebe

Wilstone did provide me with year tick number two with a juvenile Black-necked Grebe viewed from the hide. A Little Egret and Hobby were also noted.

Tringford was my final port of call for the morning and here on the muddy edges I noted 7 Green Sandpiper for year tick number 3 along with 4 Common Sandpiper and 3 Little Egret.
