Friday 1st October 2010 - Afternoon

13:45 > 14:00
Cloud, heavy rain, SW wind, gusting at times.

A brief, very brief, visit before the heavens opened once more. Just two Little Egrets today which suggests the high numbers in late afternoon (fourteen yesterday) are a pre-roost gathering of birds heading back from the west before popping off to their Linford sleeping quarters in the last hour before dark.

Not much else out on the water, around 40 Lapwing dotted about and three Cormorants together on one of the blunt spits but no sign of any small waders at all.

Hirundine migration still in full swing with a few dozen House Martins and the odd Swallow low over the fields and water.
