Monday 21st July
This morning sunny but with a stiff northerly breeze which made it feel distinctly cool.
There were lots of black-headed gulls on the Meadow this morning. They weren't counted but at least 200 would be a conservative estimate. There were 9 LITTLE EGRETS dotted about the place. Two REDSHANK on the south shore, 2 DUNLIN at stint corner together with a LITTLE RINGED PLOVER and a single DUNLIN on the north shore near the north cove. The COMMON TERNS still present and some grey herons.
There was something which might have been a spotted flycatcher by the Aristotle Lane railway bridge but a clear view wasn't obtained.
