A great evening session with Christian C, with a few anticipated and less expected highlights! A
Water Rail swimming across the main lake came under the latter category, as did an early
Yellow Wagtail overhead. A small number of large gulls on the main lake had a juvenile
Yellow-legged Gull, a juvenile
Herring Gull and a striking 2cy Norwegian-ringed
intermedius Lesser Black-backed Gull in their midst. Two
Sedge Warblers showing in the southeast corner of the main lake were the first we'd seen on site for several weeks. Over on Hundred Acre,
Green Sandpiper numbers around Jim's Pit had grown to 11 while other waders included singles of
Common Sandpiper and
Little Ringed Plover on the southern lake
