WeirWood early afternoon on another beautiful sunny day. In the dam end c/pk a Chiffchaff was singing as was a Marsh Tit. On the water little of note 6 Great-crested Grebes, 26 Black-headed Gulls and several Herring Gulls on the aerator. A Kingfisher flew speedily past and a Raven flew over calling. At the west end much as usual 2 Little Egrets in the base of the heronry, 4 Wigeon, 2 Tufted Duck and 2 Teal. 2 of the 6 Great-crested Grebes were weed dancing and a Little Grebe was present. The feeders were busy as usual and a Water Rail was again feeding happily by the hide. 2 Siskins were also on the feeders. 4 Lesser Redpolls flew over and a Redwing was in the trees opposite.
