Thursday 30th July - Evening - Common Buzzard


4:15 > 5:30pm
Post thunderstorm, sunny, warm, odd ominous cloud. Brisk westerly wind at times.

Singles of both Green Sandpiper and Common Sandpiper remain. No sign of any Lapwing today and gull numbers down to around 40 Black Headed Gulls, three Lesser Black Backed Gulls and a single Herring Gull that certainly didn't have yellowish legs. Three Common Terns also present.

A pair of Little Egrets were also out on the mud while a third joined them briefly when flushed from back brook. A Common Buzzard, again swooping low over the site, sent everthing skywards for a while. The Kestrel still hunts over the muddied area.
