A early morning walk around with Jack and obviously we new the Arctic Tern from yesterday evening would be gone very rarely do they stay. We managed around fourteen possibly more Brambling , now five Willow Warblers , still eight Chiffchaff and six singing male Blackcap . Also noted Sparrowhawk , Grey Heron , Bullfinch , Goldfinch , ten Swallows , fourteen Sand Martin , two male Reed Buntings and we are still hanging on two a pair of Pochard which are usually long gone by now. Mark was down during the afternoon nothing much to add except adult Common Gull on the water and Oystercatcher flying over .
