Messingham Sand Quarries day list

Spent close on 8 hours at Messingham today going for a day list to beat all day lists - in the end we saw a total of 80 species highlights include 26 Chiffchaffs, 12 Willow Warblers, 1 Reed Warbler, 13 Blackcaps, 1 Yellow Wagtail, 1 Peregrine and best of all 4 pairs of Willow Tits - it was a beautiful day with lovely blue skies and seemingly endless Buzzards and Marsh Harriers of course we were probably seeing the same ones all day.  However one of our target birds was Wheatear which we didn’t have at MSQ but we did find this one on the way home at Black Bank.
