A pair of Pied Wagtails are around the center of the village where a pair nested last year, very close to the street. Possibly the same pair. Three Redwings dashed over calling as the flew south.
This afternoon I visited Shawell lagoons particularly for the gulls, there were about 500 present with a steady movement in and out. Two Oystercatcher were on the shore, these return most Spring and sometimes breed here or within the vicinity at another site, seen in this photo with Black-headed and Common Gulls.
In the road boundary hedge there was Blue, Great and Long-tailed Tits foraging with a Treecreeper and Goldcrest. The Tits frequented a peanut feeder I placed there a couple of weeks ago.
There were a good number of Tufted Duck today, but no Wigeon, probably now on their way to breeding grounds. Two Mallard and Canada Goose pairs loafing about with 16 Coot and the grey heron hunted the shallows again.
