Calais!

 1 of todays Grasshopper Warblers

I joined CP,MH and PT on a trip to Northern France today, we visited various sites all within a 10 mile radius of Calais. Without any effort we racked up 100+ species including 12 species of Warbler including Marsh Warblers and super singing Icterine Warbler which evaded my lens. A Honey Buzzard which appeared to be carrying a food/prey item gave a very brief view as it flew over a ride in the forest. On one of the beaches 5 Kentish Plovers were seen, though their chances of breeding success didn't look good as holidaymakers strolled through the breeding area along with kite buggies.

It was a great day out and actually seeing loads of birds in great company.
