Blustery morning after overnight rain, with Ray Scally.
‘New in’ birds included two juvenile Ringed Plovers that
appeared on the shoreline at 6.30am. Unclear if they had just dropped in or we had
missed them in the dim early morning light up to that point.
Shoveler were up to 24, but other duck numbers were
largely unchanged, including 3 juvenile Shelducks.
Lingering / passage summer migrants were scarce, possibly
due in part to the gusty winds keeping everything hunkered down, but they included 1
Reed Warbler, 1 Blackcap, 5 Chiffchaffs and 12 Swallow.
A possible Greenshank was seen briefly in flight just before
9am and appeared to be heading towards the lagoon, but couldn’t be relocated or positively ID'd.
Ray then had an adult Yellow-legged Gull later in the
morning.
