Prescot Reservoirs,
A passage of swifts was evident with a flock of 60 Swifts moving through early morning. There were 7 Common Sandpipers around no3 today and a Green Sandpiper was with them. I flushed it with 2 common sandpipers and its distinctive square white rump and call was obvious. Andy Spot reported a Jack Snipe in the ranch this morning.
