Thurs 29th May 25

After several days of not a lot happening it was a nice surprise to find a summer plumage Gt. W Egret fishing on the pond to the right of the hide, another plus was the reappearance of the single Lapwing chick that had not been seen for the last few days.

From the hide: 14 Shelduck, 6 Mallard, 1 Tufted Duck, 1 Gt. W Egret, 1 Lt. Egret, 3 Grey Heron, 32 Avocet, 3 Lapwing (+1 chick), 2 Oystercatcher, 50+ Blk H Gulls, 2 Med Gulls. PL/HO'H/MR
