17:45 > 18:30
Sunny, W wind, 16c
Still a stiff breeze but nowhere near as bad
as yesterday. Noticeable today the number of House and Sand Martins heading
through.
Not too much else to report bar a lone Little Egret and the first
Cormorant on the spit in a while but a thousand or so Gulls following the
plough on the hill slope that leads up to Castlethorpe gave it a real Autumnal
feel to the evening.
As for the site
itself it’s good to see all the vegetation cut back along the banking along the
south shore leaving patches of shingle and bare earth. Birds such as Ring
Ouzel, Wheatear and the various Wagtails and Pipits have favoured this area in
the last few years, here’s hoping.
