40 Shoveler, c40m Teal, c25 Wigeon, 111 Lapwings, c80 Golden Plovers flew in, but did not settle.

Shawell Lagoons; afternoon.
108 lapwings, two Red Kites, drake Pochard, a Cormorant, plus usual Gulls.
Only the south lagoon now has free water as workings are reduced, the north pool is mostly reed now.
Shawell sandpit/landfill;
The drake Goldeneye is still present on the south pool. Twenty Wigeon flew around, only two landed. Seven Mute Swans. Eight Little Grebes.
24 Red Kites. Green Woodpecker
Lutterworth; late afternoon.
I stopped off here to shop and saw a good flock of Feral Pigeons over the town centre - they are very messy here. I though about 40, but the photo count says 64!
