On Walland the 41 Bewick Swans were still at Midley late morning, nearby at the model flying club c20 Yellowhammers and c40 Fieldfares. No sign of the 20 Tree Sparrows seen there earlier per L & PH.
A walk around Pigwell and Bretts produced a party of 82 Pied Wagtails by the sewage works, the usual Marsh Harrier, but little else of note.
A disappointing Egret roost count this evening when just 6 Great White Egrets and 11 Little Egrets came to roost.
There were still 4 Long-tailed Ducks on the western most back lake at Scotney per RW.
