Tues 10th Aug 21

A much better day today so I had a bit earlier start and found things much as Matt had first thing. Numbers were down a bit by the time I was out and about but good to see c10 Willow Warblers around the site along with Lesser & Common Whitethroat, Blackcap, Reed Warblers. On the scrape were c10 Avocet (inc. a colour ringed bird), 6 Lapwing, 2 Redshank, 2 Blk T Godwits, 2 Common Sands, 1 Wood Sand 1 Dunlin, 5 Shelduck, c30 Teal, 6 Cormorant, 1 Water Rail (juv.), Swallow, Sand Martin, Swift, 1 Marsh Harrier, 1 Buzzard, 2 Kestrel. Plus a pair of Stonechat with 2 juvs (could our pair from the moth sanctuary have had a second brood??) PRD/DW/MR.
