26th May - sunny, hot, light SW, 23C

Cossington Meadows; after a busy day I decided to make an evening visit here, not been at all this year mainly to due virus lockdown rules.  I had been told the pools had mud edges so I was hoping a passage wader may be present.

A pleasant evening with plenty of activity, there seemed a good number of Song Thrushes singing here,  Whitethroat fetching food for youngsters.  Cetti's Warblers, Redd Warblers and others could be heard.   On the pools a good number of Gadwall, Mallard, a few Tufted duck and a single drake Mandarin (my first here), Common Terns and Black-headed Gulls were nesting on the islands.

Green Woodpecker feeding on the ground, Swifts overhead, a Kestrel with prey, plus other usual birds were seen
