Little Grebe and a few Swifts still in evidence

It was obviously the week for Grebes on the patch, as a check of the reservoir at Sidestrand revealed that a Little Grebe had also chosen to pay it a visit. It was only the second one I'd seen on the patch this year and my first one on the reservoir this year, and was presumably a juv bird dispersing.

A walk along the golf course revealed that there was up to 10 Swifts feeding over the woods by the lighthouse, with most others seemingly having departed south already this was a notable gathering. 3+ Wheatears were still feeding on their favoured slope.
