At Scotney the 2 Long-tailed Ducks were hiding at the back of the main pit between the Gull islands viewed from the double bends, the usual feral Geese were present as were 1,000s each of Golden Plover and Lapwing, 100s of Wigeon, 2 Marsh Harriers and a Peregrine. The Slavonian Grebe is still present on its usual lake. The 2 Whooper Swans were still viewable distantly from Swam Crossing.
This afternoon The Patch was very quiet with no boil, also a Peregrine was harassing the Gulls and Pigeons on the power station.
Mid afternoon a Great White Egret was at Cook's Pool along with 3 Marsh Harriers and a Great Spotted Woodpecker over the entrance track. On Burrowes the islands are rapidly submerging, those that still exist are covered in Cormorants. A Great Black-backed Gull bearing yellow ring marked D:AU which is probably a Welsh bird came in as darkness fell, also a gleaming white a 1w Caspian Gull came to roost.
