Lovely and long morning at Saul kere. Walked to the lake and back. Water levels, even lower, and the hyacinth is more. The JCBs have done their job - there are storm water drains coming in from everywhere.
My morning highlight was a Cinereous Tit seen almost at the end, the scaly-breasted manias in plenty, and the Kingfishers flashing across the water.
The Prinias - so evident last time from all parts of the surrounding scrub, were conspicuously absent.
There was a yellow flowering tree, in a row, and I have identified it as Burmese Rosewood - it looked like a cross between the copepod and the laburnum!
The Marsh Harriers were here, but the birds were quite calm.
No migrant ducks did I spy.
