WeirWood from 6:15hrs, it was flat overcast with light NW breeze. On the dam 9 Common Sands indulging in some rather aggressive display, 2 Little Egrets also and an ad’ Great Black-backed Gull. 114 Black-headed Gulls were present mostly on the overflow, only a few juv’s so far. A highlight for me was the flock of 11 Golden Plover flying SW at 6:45hrs calling nicely as they went on their way. I don’t see too many of these now. 3 Common Terns were noted and an ad’ Common Gull flew in. So far better than the last few days here. Another Little Egret was along the north shore plus 6 Mandarins at least. In the c/pk a surprise Reed Warbler, a rather fresh looking individual and a Goldcrest. Below the dam 3 Grey Wagtails in the overflow plus another Common Sandpiper and in the bushes 2 Willow Warblers, bright looking juv’s. A Green Woodpecker male was on the dam slope and a Mistle Thrush was noted. At the west end around 20 Barn Swallows were feeding around the platforms, also Lapwing present.
