After a walk the full length of the west bank yesterday and failing to find any waders, todays trek took me the length of the cobbled east bank to the peninsular, still failing to find any waders. Plenty LBB and Black Headed gulls were on the north shore whilst geese numbers are slowly going down with around 100 Canada and 30 Greylag with just a few Canadas yet to fledge. All yesterdays Tufted ducks have now flown, probably to Cold Edge Dams. Nothing in the air other than a single Swift>S and 4 Lapwing>N.
Just as depression was setting in I got back into the compound to find several small passerines flitting around in the SE corner but all very mobile in and out of the single small tree and around the fence line.
At least 6 Stonechat, 4 Reed Bunting, 3 Willow Warbler, a single Chiffchaff and Wheatear, whilst star prize went to a single Sedge Warbler, a site first for me here and saviour of the morning.
Showing a foggy start to the morning with a light easterly slowly turning round to the south west with 80% chance of rain after midday. Starting temp 14 degrees and peaking at 22 degrees.
