A very misty start with visibility over the lagoon at 9.30, the main movements of the morning were Fieldfare, movement with purpose SW starting at 10.15 with approx 400 birds in the space of 20 minutes approx, Redwing numbering 150 approx, 5 Skylark over during the morning seemed to be the only purposeful movement.
Duck species were the norm with the absence of Wigeon and the Teal numbers down to 31, not sure if they were feeding in the grass. The Pintail remained but I could only find 6. Lapwing numbered 154 on arrival and were there on departure. In the paddock by Black Harry's there was 1 Brambling with the Chaffinch and the 4 Jay were very vocal and seen in many areas of the lagoon.
Gull numbers started with 200 Black-headed Gull at first light and the Lesser Black-backed Gulls numbered 40 on departure but they were flying in as I was leaving. Full list on eBIRD links below:
