A icy cold start to the morning with a bitter NW>4-5 at 9 degrees with full dark cloud and light showers. A slight improvement by 0915 hrs with broken cloud and odd periods of sun. Luckily the overnight fog had cleared.
Just down to the usuals today with Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper whilst the Oystercatchers were back but without the Black Tailed Godwit. Several Swifts in migration mode heading >S along with a few Swallows whilst 2 Kestrels were hovering over the west bank.
A partial clear out of Canadas this morning with around 100 still present as well as 3 gosling but a record count of Greylags for this site still present, with around 50 adults and several well grown goslings, 15 of which are white. A pair of distant Stonechat were present whilst Curlews are now gone from the area but should get some movers over anytime now.
Showing full sun for tomorrow on a light NW and a starting temp of 12 degrees.
