A quick look at the lake on my way to work this morning at 06.15 revealed a pair of Greylags and a pair of Canada Geese. A Blackcap sang as did a couple of Chiffchaffs and a Goldcrest. The three pairs of Great Crested Grebes were still present and at least one pair of Coots.
I received a text from Glyn to say that he was fishing and had some photos of last weeks Osprey with him and to tell me had seen a couple of House Martins this afternoon, so I popped in on my way home. I picked up the memory stick from him and was pleased to see one of the House Martins (90). A Mandarin Drake flew in just as I was leaving.
