WeirWood early afternoon and 2 adult Cattle Egrets had arrived plus a Little Egret at the west end but missed the Great Egret. The Common Terns nests were still active as were the Black-headed Gulls. Also several lazy looking Great-crested Grebes. At the dam thankfully the Great Egret flew to the south bank across the reservoir but was lost to view behind the new reed bed annoyingly. 50 various gulls of 4 species were present with 26 Herring Gulls of various ages and single Great and Lesser Black-backed. The obligatory Red Kite flew along the north ridge, and that was it for me. I was only here for 30minutes and for the first time saw 4 herons species in one day here.
