Sunday 25th April
Mute Swan - on eggs plucking breast downA visit today between 6.30am and 10am. Managed to add seven to my New Hythe year list including a New Hythe 'tick'
Garden Warbler
Fantastic total of 17 Nightingale this morning singing all over the area. My first Garden Warbler singing from the peninsula near Brook House and Whitethroat from what seemed like every bush. 2 Cuckoo around the sunken marsh, 3 Sedge Warbler, good numbers of Reed Warbler - one along the river, a couple around the sunken marsh and the usual good numbers around Brooklands Lake. 3 Lesser Whitethroat, 6 Swift from the Sunken marsh, 9 Swallow, my first of 2 Common Tern and a Little Egret over the sunken marsh along with 4+ Great Black Backed Gull, my first Jackdaw of the year (!) and 3 Linnet. 
Common Tern
Best sighting was on the way home. The rain started to fall so I dropped in at Alders Lake hoping for another Tern to drop in. As I got out of the car I heard the unmistakable call of a Whimbrel. Looking up I saw 2 going over...a New Hythe tick! Also, for good measure there was another Common Tern in the pouring rain.

Hi Steve.
What a great day you had Some terrific birds seen, especially the Garden Warbler.It seems to be buzzing down there at the moment Steve. Looking forward to my next visit.
Was they both male Cuckoo's calling?
Seems like the weekends are the days to go down to the lakes lately Steve. Well done with the Whimbrels, you don't get birds like that too often, or too easily.
It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT shoes[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] more remarkable.
MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]buy mbt shoes[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]footwear etc[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]mbt shoes review[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.
The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes review[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes best prices[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.
As to the question of whether they [B]mbt sneakers[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement. If [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] you spend long periods of time on your feet then you may [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] benefit from them. However, if you are someone [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
