I nearly didn’t go out this evening, and then I thought “maybe I’ll just have a look at Par, but I don’t suppose I’ll see much“!

I got out of the car and walked over to the top end of the Pool and never moved from that vicinity in 2 hours! Got shots of Reed Warbler (which I have seen once before and the Abbot kept mentioning Cetti’s Warbler, which gave me doubts as to ID, but fortunately the guys on Birdforum confirmed it for me). Also saw a Goldcrest (but only got bad quality shots), Jay, Kestrel, Tufted Duck and Juv. Reed Bunting, amongst others! A good night.
