First the USB. Early morning visit more in hope, but no sign despite playing sound recordings of Arctic Warbler, Blyth's Reed, Lesser Whitethroat and Philippine Hawk Cuckoo, the latter by mistake, honestly! Conditions were somewhat better than yesterday (although still chilly when out of the sun) so I would have expected to hear it unless it has moved on. Time will tell but it may be destined to remain a mystery.
In general, there did appear to have been a bit of an overnight clear out from Old Moor, although at least one Turnstone remained as well as four Dunlin and the adult Med' Gull. Maybe things will build up later? A couple of new Redshank chicks on the Field Pool was good news anyway.
On Wombwell Ings there were 4 Shelduck (flew through Old Moor earlier), 5 Black-tailed Godwits, 9 Redshank, and an Avocet.
A Hobby was seen over Broomhill Flash and Bolton Ings where there was also a Wheatear.
