It was a cold and windy day at Camp Lane Pits, Grimley. Amazingly the air was full of migrating swallows swooping over the water, with the occasional house martin amongst them. We wondered what they were finding to eat in those cool conditions. There was a flock of lapwing that rose up and flew around before settling again. There was also a very brief dunlin, plus snipe and two rather elusive black-tailed godwits. There were of course ducks on the water which included good numbers of shoveler and wigeon, as well as little and great-crested grebes and a great white egret.
