WeirWood from a bright early morning at the west end. Here the 3 Black-headed Gull chicks are growing fast and the Common Terns look to be doing okay. Also of note 14 Great-crested Grebes so far and the Mute Swan. 2 Great Egrets flew over the heronry and a Little Egret was seen there, also a Kingfisher was opposite the hide. On the canoeist beach a Greenshank was a distant addition whilst on Pintail bank 2 Lapwings were present plus a male Goshawk over here briefly, chasing something. A sing juv’ Mandarin was about plus 4 Buzzards over the rocks. At the dam fewer Herring Gulls with 21 only but 150+ Black-headed Gulls and 3 Lesser Black-backed Gull. 6 Common Sands along the north shore, none on the dam. A Hobby was a nice bonus and 5 Swifts were noted, 4 House Martins were over the dam but it was generally quiet here today.
