17:30 > 18:00
Hot, sunny, south west breeze, 27c.
A small return to normality after
yesterdays disturbance (see post below) though a military helicopter very low
over on arrival didn’t help things.
Around 20 or so Lapwings have returned to
the margins where they were joined by half a dozen Common Terns. Singles of
Oystercatcher and Green Sandpiper were noted but no sign at all of any Little
Ringed Plovers, the first blank in a few months.
A single Little Egret was out on the new
workings whilst a increasing number of gulls are starting to collect in this
area. Around 200 strong mostly Black headed Gulls but a handful of Lesser Black
Backed are also present.
Sand Martins are still numerous a sign of a
good breeding season in the shingle walls in the inaccessible part of the site.
