About noon a Red Kite flew low, westward, over the village.
At Shawell lagoons this afternoon 400+ Lesser black-backed Gulls, c20 Herring Gulls and three Yellow-legged Gulls were present. There were at least four juvenille LBBGs present and the YLGs consisted on two adults and one 2 summer plumed bird. Another gull showed characteristics of a Caspian Gull but it's age meant it was difficult to distinguish it from Herring Gull.
Also present there were a small number of Sand Matins feeding, a Little Grebe, several Tufted Duck, a female Mallard with very small ducklings, a Common Sandpiper appeared feeding for awhile along the shore. Long-tailed and Blue Tits foraged in the hedgerow.
