It was a quiet day migrant wise but there was still lots to see. 5+ Little Gulls were nice to see hawking around the lakes along with a couple of Common Terns, Greenshank, Whimbrel and Bar-tailed Godwit all dropped in, with a steady trickle and miaow of overhead Mediterranean Gulls moving East. There were a few Wheatears around with 6 at the small fishing pond, also at least 2 Cucloo's around.

Reed Warbler collecting nesting material today
The summer residents were nest building or displaying or singing with gusto, but the Bitterns are very half hearted in their booming at the moment. Splendidly dressed Bar-tailed Godwits are arriving with the Whimbrels. Noisy Redshanks and Lapwing chase any Corvids or Raptors that come near there nest fields, Greenshank calls can be heard all around.
