Yellow Wagtails

The north-west corner of Staines Moor is heaving with birds at the moment. A Tree Pipit and a Cuckoo were seen before I arrived this morning, but I had to settle for 4 Yellow Wagtails (2 males and 2 females) and 15+ Northern Wheatears (one of which was singing) in amongst 15 Meadow Pipits and 15 Linnets. A commic tern over distantly, 18 Sand Martin, 5 Barn Swallow, 4 Sedge Warbler, 6 Common Whitethroat, 5 Chiffchaff, 1 Willow Warbler, 6 Blackcap, 2 Redshank, 3 Lapwing, 3 Shelduck and 1 Little Egret was the best of the rest.
