NEW IN - On arrival there were 4 Black-tailed Godwit preening on the shoreline, the birds stayed about an hour and headed off high in the Longstone direction, at 8.20am 8 Pintail dropped in bringing the total to 9 birds. Generally there was a bit of movement early on, with 16 Skylark over and 18 Siskin. There was an increase of Lapwing to 12. 3 Redwing were also seen and heard early morning.
LINGERING MIGRANTS - The Brambling was again heard over the hide and seen flying on the tree tops, it was very vocal, the Golden Plover again came in and circled and could only be heard but for some reason got all the Lapwing up flying around. 4 Chiffchaff were still calling around the lagoon.
Duck numbers were there or there abouts from previous visits, the 5 Goosander were present at first light but left shortly afterwards. 100 Starling approx left the roost. 13 Raven were observed together on the adjoining fields and seemed to be feeding on something in a furrow.
