An imm/fem Merlin flew south west at 1.45pm. Dunlin have increased to 4 also 281 Golden Plover. The male Speckled Teal was again amongst 377 Teal. 66 Goldeneye were counted at dusk also 91 Pochard. An  adult Yellow-legged Gull came in to roost and at  least 2 Stonechat again at the west end.

10 mile NNW of  Belvide at Norbury junction, a Red-rumped Swallow was found by Dave Talbot roosting at the British Waterways work unit. I managed to get there 5 minutes before it flew off at 9.50am. Whats the chance it carried on along the Shropshire Union Canal and flew over Belvide itself ? AGGGGHHH!!!!!
