Monday 1st August 2011 – Evening

17:00 > 18:30
Sunny, hot, humid, 27c

A leisurely perimeter walk on a muggy summer evening made somewhat better by the removal of some of the thistle beds along the north shore giving better views along the riverside walk.

Waders represented by a handful of Little Ringed Plovers, a single Common Sandpiper and at least seven Green Sandpipers. The Lapwing flock is now around 100 strong.

A high of 16 Common Tern including three family groups whilst a ‘new’ Yellow Wagtail pair had young along the banks of the Inlet, the fourth brood to my knowledge to breed on site this summer.

Other birds of note, three Little Egret and a hawking Hobby over.
