WeirWood from another beautiful dawn at the dam. Only 1oC though with a light frost. Here still 2 Little-ringed Plover flying around the water tower, a Common Sandpiper, also a nice summer Dunlin. On the slope plenty of birds such as Mistle Thrush and 2 Grey Wagtails, Great spotted Woodpecker and Buzzard to name a few. On the water 5 Great-crested Grebes and 6 Herring Gulls. 5 Common Terns flew up from the west end and a Goshawk male was up early hunting along the south bank at 7:00hrs. Also later a Red Kite, 4 Buzzards, female Peregrine and 3 Hobbies. Several Swifts and House Martins but no Barn Swallows today. In the c/pk Garden Warbler and 2 Coal Tits. Below the dam still 2 Common Whitethroats and another Garden Warbler. At the west end still Black-headed Gulls and Common Terns present with all the nesting platforms occupied. In the various reedbeds at least 3 Reed Warblers were noted and 5 Great-crested Grebes were present plus a Kingfisher. At Whillett’s another 2 Reed Warblers and a male Reed Bunting. A nice surprise was a Great Egret that flew in from high up to land at the back of the heronry. Along the north bank a Marsh Tit, Green Woodpecker, 4 Jays in total, Garden Warbler, male Bullfinch, plus at last a Lesser Whitethroat near the picnic area, not in song though and Treecreeper.
