Monday 26th April - Late Morning

11:30 > 12:00
14c Spitting rain, NW breeze, feeling cool.

A pair of Common Terns prospecting the gravel islands were a welcome site but if the water level doesn't hold any chance of nesting will be gone if by predation by the active foxes if nothing else. Shelduck pair remain as do at least four Little Ringed Plover. No sign of and Yellow Wagtail or Green sandpiper now, the latter due no doubt to the water levels or lack of. A party of Housemartins were making use of the wet mud though taking off mouthfuls for nest building watched over by a Common Buzzard in Godwit Corner who looked like he didn't have a care in the world despite the odd mobbing by passing corvids.
