A whistle stop tour of Willen Lake north and south + Manor Farm this evening
turned up a few surprises but not quite the flood gates opening
yet.
Willen South
Best was the COMMON SWIFT wheeling around with
15 House Martins , 2 Common Terns were on the raft with a 3rd bird commuting to
the north lake , not much else on the spit other than 4 Teal
Manor Farm
Andy Morris BLACK TAILED GODWIT was still roosting in the shallows just
out from the Gate - almost full Summer Plumage - cracking bird. Also on site
were 7 LRP's ( I managed to miss the DUNLIN that Rob had 20 mins later, unless
it dropped in ) 2 YELLOW WAGTAILS and 3 WHITE WAGTAILS were great to see as well
