17:00 > 18:00
11c Dry then heavy, heavy rain. W wind.
Five Swallows over the water and still the odd Fieldfare dotted about.
A single Green Sandpiper along with three Lapwing the only waders.
At dusk the amount of Common Pheasant about was noticable with around four males seen.
The bird of the day though was undoubtedly Goosander, during the deluge the count went into double figures for the first time, where are they all coming from? During the deluge not only were the group of four females huddled together on the North Shore but out on the water itself three separate pairs braved the elements.
Earlier Bob Fowles (via NBBR) had 1 Green Sandpiper, 3 female Goosander and 3 Swallows.
