Another hot sticky morning but improved more by late afternoon with less sun, more cloud cover and a nice SE>3. A heavy rain shower early evening but that was after I had left.
A bit of everything today with sky movement, ducks on the water and waders and gulls on the shore. A good move of gulls first thing whilst 2 Tree Pipits over were this mornings highlight in the sky. The Peregrine had a quick and unsuccessful attempt at the Mipits but left, not to be seen again.
The water held Tufted duck, Mallards, Teal and Black Headed gulls with LBB and Herring on the shore. Another Ringed Plover had come in overnight to join the group which now held 2 adult and 2 juvenile Ringed Plover and 1 juv, first year breeding Dunlin.
Again, despite the weather, a decent days birding and rain forecast for tomorrow ,thats hoping they re right.
