Monday 19th May: a pair of goosander
A sunny start to the day with just a gentle breeze.
This morning on the Meadow: 5 RINGED PLOVER and 5 DUNLIN in their usual place at the north end of the floods. No sign of the garganey this morning but there were 10 gadwall on the floods plus and handful of shoveler. 14 mute swans still hanging around and a couple of grey herons.
On the river by the house boat a pair of GOOSANDER were hunting and then later sunning themselves on the bank. There was also a lone cormorant on the river.
Plenty of house martins still around.
