 Late start this morning, on the scrape: 3 Canada Geese (2+1 large gosling), 8 Shelduck, 6 Shoveler (all Drakes), 18 Avocet, 9 Lapwing (6+3 chicks), 4 Redshank, 2 Oystercatcher, 1 Dunlin, 2 Med Gulls (in & out), 1 Grey Heron, 1 Cormorant, 8+ Swallows, Reed Bunting, Sedge & Reed Warbler, Cetti's Warbler & Linnets, 1 Kestrel.

The Stonechat juvs were taking longer flights today and not being feed as much by the adults, I wonder how much longer they will all be together?

A single Sandwich Tern was flying around off the sluice on the way back.
