Frampton Marsh, Sandbach and Marshside
Lots of good birds at Frampton Marsh, Lincolnshire today, inclluding at least three wood sandpipers, three drake garganey, curlew sandpiper, little stint, spotted flycatcher and several species of warblers. On the way home we stopped off at Elton Hall Flash, Sandbach for a look at two summer plumaged whiskered terns and then continued to Marshside to see a glossy ibis.
