09/11/2026 08:50 to 12:30 Andy Butler with Steve Coughlan

Another misty start to the day which didn't start to clear until about 10:00. In the mist I heard Water Rail and several parties of Fieldfare overhead.

When it finally cleared there was nothing new on the lagoon but the 3 Pintail and lone male Pochard were still present. A smaller group of around 80 Lapwing were joined by 148 Golden Plover during the morning.

A reasonable group of about 200 Lesser Black-backed Gulls were joined by an adult Yellow-legged Gull.

There was was quite a bit of activity around the feeder which included a Great Spotted Woodpecker and I heard Brambling again below the dam. Fewer Fieldfare today but I still noted 350 passing west.
