2nd July: 3 Wood Sandpipers
The weather cooler and more overcast this morning but no sign so far of the forecast rain.
This morning on the Meadow there were 3 WOOD SANDPIPERS on the west shoreline opposite the Burgess Field gate. Also 5 LITTLE EGRETS on the small pool to the north of the floods though often only one was visible. All 6 COMMON TERNS were present this morning again and a couple of early TEAL were about. At least 3 grey herons were loitering on the floods. Apart from that lots of black-headed gulls and lapwings.
