The pits are hard work in the summer months. From the deep sticky mud in winter the ground is now rutted and uneven making it essential you watch every step.
There hasn't been anything to blog about since spring migration. 13 Black-tailed Godwits in summer plummage was the best whilst there has been a Med Gull coming and going. A Great White Egret hung around for two weeks but no sign recently.
I did two visits at the weekend and the below were the best counts of both days.
36 Little Grebe, 9 Cormorant, 16 Mute Swans, 169 Greylags, 340 Canada Geese, 2 Teal, 450 Mallard, 6 Gadwall, 70 Tufted Duck - three broods of various sizes, 100 Coot, 3 Lapwing, 5 Green Sandpiper, 43 Black-headed Gulls, 10 LBB Gull, 2 Herring Gull, 20 Swift, 11 Sand Martin, 15 Swallow, 3 Wheatear (all female), 1 Cetti's Warbler, Jay, Red Kite, Sparrowhawk, broods of Meadow Pipit & Yellowhammer & juv Cuckoo.
