As you leave the car park walking to the Lampen Wall the stench of rotting fish hits you. The lake is lined with thousands of dead fish of all sorts and sizes including Eels that can tolerate poor conditions and hundreds of large Carp that were probably 20+ years old. In the 2 hours i was there i did not see a single Damselfly and only 1 Dragonfly, I hope this catastrophe does not spread to Grove Ferry. The Night Heron was showing distantly and appeared to be either catching small fish or cosuming the dead ones.
At the ARC Pit late this afternoon from Hanson Hide there was 14 LRPs, 1 Green Sandpiper, 4 Ringed Plovers, 6 Black-tailed Godwitsand a Greenshank. |At the southern end the Goosander was with masses of loafing Pochard and 2 more LRPs. On Burrowes Pit the 1st summer Little Gull, 2 more LRPs and a Knot.
