WeirWood from 16:00hrs at the west end was fairly quiet with the 4 Mute Swans still 2 small young Great-crested Grebes and a half grown one also, 16 ad’s were also around. 4 Teal and 4 Mandarins were in the narrows where 2 Snipe and a Green Sandpiper were seen. 4 Lapwing, Common Sandpiper and Stock Dove were on the small left hand point. A Grey Wagtail was on Pintail bank as was another Teal. Loads of Canada and Grey Lag Geese today plus Egyptian for good measure. Only a single Lesser Black-backed and 3 Black-headed Gulls today. Overhead 2 Buzzards, a female Sparrowhawk and a surprise Hobby flying south. Along the north bank a Green Woodpecker adult male was seen also several Chiffchaffs noted. That was about it sadly. I left at 17:15hrs.
