30th - An overcast and rainy day mean't birding was not easy today but a brief trip along the Gimeaux road turned up a gem in the form of a 1st summer female Pallid Harrier that was hunting North of the road. Excellent prolonged views were obtained as the bird swooped and glided low over the fields. In addition to the standard fare I noted a flock of 5 Bee-Eaters in the trees of Gimeaux and at least 20 Black-winged Stilts feeding in the flooded fields further west.
