Another scorcher at an unhealthy 20 degrees but saved by a pleasant SSE>3 with 40% cloud and sunshine.
With the breeze making it workable I walked the length of the west bank to check out yesterdays Dunlins etc on the north shore, only to find a clear out of waders with just a single Common Sandpiper showing along with all the juv Pied Wagtails.
Back at the south end a single Redshank was present briefly along with a newly fledged juv Lapwing.
Nothing in the skies other than 5 LBB gulls and 4 Black Headed >SW plus the usual Curlews and Lapwings. Otherwise very quiet for the summer solstice ( longest day ) and certainly feeling like the longest morning.
Slightly cooler tomorrow staring off at 14 degrees with a moderate SW increasing as the day goes on with a low chance of showers, which my garden badly needs and my water butt is getting low.
