As the summer starts in earnest, the number of migrants is decreasing sharply. Temperature outside at the weekend reached 48 degrees Centigrade and makes birding unpleasant. The only real migrants seen were two Red-backed Shrikes (one male and one female) and several Sand Martins. Very few birds of any type were seen but I did flush an Egyptian Nightjar at one point from the long grass. The Pied Avocets and Little Terns continue feeding their young after breeding here again this year and other breeding waders seen with young included Little Ringed Plover, Kentish Plover and Black-winged Stilt. White-cheeked Terns are certainly breeding nearby and feeding quite small young but not certain if they bred at the exact location I was birding.
