College Lake - early morning visit

A glorious morning to be out today.

Unsurprisingly this morning there was no sign of the Wood Sandpiper Dave found last night at College Lake, although my visit was just a “quick” pre-work check, so it may have been hiding somewhere…

Other highlights included:

COMMON GREENSHANK still on the mud on the NE corner of the marsh
DUNLIN – Summer-plumage bird again on the island on the main lake
4 Oystercatchers – 2 adults and 2 rapidly-growing chicks
6+ (more like 8) Redshanks on the marsh
10+ Lapwings including 3 chicks1
Red Kite sailed over
1 Great Crested Grebe on the main lake

Cheers & Good Birding, Ben Miller
