We started out on the 26th with a visit to Rutland Water. Our first stop was the Egleton Visitor Centre where we did a straight march to Lagoon 4 first visiting the Sandpiper Hide and then the Plover Hide. At Lagoon 4 we got Avocet, Ringed Plover and Bar-tailed Godwit etc. From there we worked our way back via the other hides that overlook Lagoons 3 and 2. On our way back we stood for quite a while listening to a Nightingale sing but we could not manage to get sight of it. Other warblers seen and / or heard were Sedge and Reed Warbler, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat and Cetti’s Warbler. From the hides we got Sand Martin, House Martin and Hobby as well as a variety of the usual ducks.
