Southmoors

A brief walk at Southmoors on the way home produced a  Common Seal close in to the carpark. Along the fenceline a single Wheatear and a Kingfisher on the brick culvert; a couple of heard only Yellow Wagtails.
Over the mill-pond-still harbour a couple of hundred Swallows. Probably 40+ Little Egrets, twenty Great-crested Grebes, 75+ Turnstones roosting up on boats and hundreds of very distant roosting Curlews. An adult and a juvenile Peregrine perched on fenceposts out on the islands and finally three Common Sandpipers near the carpark.
