30th June - very hot 30C, light SSW/S, mod humidity

Willey; 0830h
A single  istle Thrush on Perkins pasture feeding.  The days of family groups seem to have long gone now.


Yesterday morning, about 0815h, already hot, I noticed a Lesser Black-backed Gull drinking from a cattle water trough.  I have never seen a Gull do this before, Corvids, Woodpigeons, but not a Gull.
The heat haze already preventing a clear photo to be taken.



Shawell Sandpit/landfill; morning.

Ferruginous Duck still present and distant from watch point.

Six Cormorants, is a high count here.
14 Red Kites, c 40 Tufted Duck now, two drake Pochards

Lilbourne Meadows; evening.

Quiet. A single Oystercatcher, c80 Starlings on the meadows, a Grey Heron.
