At WWT Common Gulls peaked at 220+ although, with birds passing through, probably more. Two hours later they had all departed. Kingfishers were audible at many points with two chasing each other all over the site whilst 25 Snipe, all hunkered down, were presumably just a portion of what may be present. An early Cetti's was a nice poser, sparring for space with a Wren, and a very close Treecreeper was foraging in nooks and crannies adjacent to the Stag Beetle pile; five Red Kites were about it for raptors in deteriorating conditions.
Shame for Keith that today was an Infocus session here - had he been in Tern Hide at Blashford he could have been watching the White-tailed Eagle!! Will all those Gulls, Ducks and Cormorants persuade it to stay? Will Bob have access to a deer carcase?? Maybe worth a trip tomorrow!
