17th July - sunny intervals, a few short showers, 22C, gentle WSW wind

Lilbourne Meadows; evening.
A Common Sandpiper - only my sixth record here since 2021, a Green Sandpiper too (55th record since 2021).
c30 Starlings feeding.  A Shelduck pair flew in, the female began feeding very actively and behaved like it had just come off a nest, so maybe we shall see a brood soon.
A Green Woodpecker was heard.

Shawell Sandpit/Landfill; evening.
A quick look here.  Five Yellow-legged Gulls were spotted sitting on the far bank.
Otherwise all the other regulars.
