A quick morning visit to the local reservoir produced first records for the year there for Lesser Whitethroat and Yellow Wagtail and for me 3 Common Tern. A single drake Pochard, Goldeneye and Shoveler were present too among the Tufted Duck. A Green Woodpecker was feeding on the earth side of the dam. About 20 each of Swallow and House Martins and a few Sand Martin hawked insects over the water.
An evening look at Shawell lagoons came up with a Dunlin, looking smart in near summer plumage and migrant Little-ringed Plover. The Shelduck pair were present and 2 Little Grebe were busy chasing each other.
