Very poor wader wise with the water well up now and a very limited amount of shore with a small area in the SE corner and a narrow strip of mud at the north end which the birds are favouring at the moment.
With boating members doing a training class in the compound I stuck to the west bank armed with scope to check the north shoreline where just 4 Common Sandpipers were present and a single Oystercatcher with no sign of the Ringed or Little Ringed Plovers from previous visits though with over 400 Canada geese and 60 plus Greylags, scoping was a bit restricted.
Lesser Black Backed gulls were moving >SW throughout whilst 2 Buzzard were present in all the time I was there. Plenty Swifts and Swallows over the water with 2 Raven and a few Curlew present whereas most of the Lapwings have now left the area once their offspring had fledged.
Otherwise, down to the usual species, so really, a quiet morning in all.
A cloudy sunny morning tomorrow at 12 degrees but dry on a light NE which could spell early morning hill fog.
