With a notable passage of Barwits this morning from London and various Beds sites, I made a quick check of LMGP and Dorney Lake from 9:30am to 11am (probably too late!).
LMGP – just the regular 2 LRPs, but 6 Shelduck, with 4 flying in from the SE at 9:45am to join the regular pair.
Dorney Lake – a single COMMON GREENSHANK on the Reserve Pool and 1-2 LRPs at the start of the return lake. At 11am a familiar tew tew tew call near the Seasonal Pool made me think the earlier Greenshank was flying, but a flock of 4 descended from quite a height and had obviously just arrived. They flew into the Seasonal Pool. I could not see the single bird on the RP on my return, so this may have joined the arriving flock. Also 2 Shelduck, 2 Common Terns, 2 Swifts over and c40 House Martins with a few Swallows and sand Martins.
