Really quiet, all the regulars, a drake Goldeneye still and female Bullfinch.
Lilbourne Meadows; afternoon.
c15 Goldfinch, Meadow Pipit, Stonechat pair still. Kestrel and Buzzard.
Usual Ducks on the flood pools.
c200 Golden Plovers (were flushed by something), with Lapwings, c30 Wigeon, Mallards, Greylag and Canada Geese on the A5 development area pools.
On the pools behind Royal Mail - 6 Dunlin with Gulls and c130 Golden Plovers.
Shawell Sandpit and Landfill area; late afternoon.
Two Shelducks (surprisingly), 19 Shoveler, 75 Teal, five Little Grebe, 7 Red Kites, 6 Ravens.
I stayed to see how many Starlings were coming in to roost, with them gathering on the landfill before crossing the road to the reed bed area. I estimated 5000 Starlings.
