The Coal Tit was singing in the church Yew this morning, with a few Goldfinch flying around the village. A number of juvenile and adult Starling are still present, either flying around catching the flying ants that are currently abundant, feeding in the fields or visiting the garden feeders. About 100 Swallows were feeding overhead most of the day, with the occasional House Martin with them.
A brief visit in the evening to Shawell lagoons did not last too long as a gull flew in that had a long piece of tape hanging from its leg. This spooked all the gulls present and some of the other birds too, also the light faded quickly making it difficult to see well. The usual Gulls were present initially in good numbers, with a few juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls too.
Lapwing numbers have increased to about 80, also one Common Sandpiper was present on the shoreline. About 30 each of Canada and Greylag Geese were loafing around the lagoon.
