Fri 26th March - Afternoon

14:00 > 16:00
11c Broken cloud, odd spot of rain, one heavy burst and then a rainbow (pic to follow).

The bird of the day one very elegant Common Redshank favouring the area around Wader South Central that is gradually emerging from the water. Also noticable were four Little Egret favouring the now almost enclosed Inlet and the mouth out onto the main body of water.

A pair of Goosander remain and does around a dozen Teal, a single drake Wigeon and a handful of Tufted Duck. A pair of Great Crested Grebe were briefly in display mode as the sun came out.

A pair of Swallow, now common it seems, were over the water while the site of the day was undoubtedly a David and Goliath act of five Pied Wagtails trying to mob one of the pair of Common Buzzards overhead.

Earlier Rob Norris (via NBBR) had one Little Ringed Plover and a massive 25 Swallows over the water.
