A good day, although a little bit wetter.
About 1,000 Avocets, 300 Redshank, 150 Black-tailed Godwits, 80 Lapwings, 70 Great Crested Grebes, 80 Little Grebes, 1 Pochard, 1 Tufted Duck, 12 Wigeon, 4 Shoveller, 40 Teal, 15 Mallard, 4 Cormorant, 3 Grey Heron, 1 Greenshank, 10 Greater Black-backed Gulls, 10 Herring Gulls, 40 Black-headed Gulls, 30 Dunlin.
It was lovely to see the Wigeon arriving, circling and whistling, and then settling.
And 1 Black Tern, flying well, steadily and buoyantly in the still conditions and regularly swooping down to the water surface and just the beak touching (in an on-line swoop straight ahead), possibly to drink??
Still plenty of Bumblebees and Dragonflies and a warm day!
