WeirWood from 6:00hrs, starting at the dam. Here the Little-ringed Plover was still present plus a smart Greenshank amongst the Pied and a Grey Wagtail, over the dam 20 Swifts at least plus a few House Martins. Over the water Black-headed Gull and a Common Tern, an ad’ Great Black-backed Gull flew in also. Along the north bank an early Hobby was seen at least twice as it dashed in and out of the bushes. The Greenshank flew off NE at 6:35. On the dam slope a Green Woodpecker male again and 7 Mistle Thrushes inc’ 4 juv’s. In the c/pk a smart male Bullfinch, crazy views of a handsome Jay and a Garden Warbler.
Moving on to the west end here the terns and gulls seem to be doing okay with the 3 Black-headed Gull chicks already growing fast. A pair of Kingfishers showed well on the newly erected stick in front of the viewing area and the Little Egrets were thankfully still around. To round off nicely a couple of Red Kites passed over, always a pleasure to see.
