Wed 4th: Set up the other side of the 'crescent' as usual (spit side).
3 new Reed W inc 2 fem., 4 retrapped - this year, last year, year before & 2004. This last male was not seen by us in between times.
Also another juvvy Robin, both halves of the Dunnock pairing and, as a surprise, a new male Gt. Spot.
The swans were there with their 7 kiddies tucked away on a spit. A hell of a commotion was going on before a pair of swans emerged onto the main path with 4 tired cygnets. These then made their way back up the path to safer waters. Peace restored.
There were 16 Swifts patrolling early on.
Later in the morning, a superb Red Kite flew over the 'fingers' in brilliant sunshine! Wow!
