A Blackcap was doing its best to sing from cover first thing, and a Green Woodpecker called, both not at there best in the wet and cool weather. Greenfinches continually sing and give their display flights around the village, no matter what the weather.
In the evening I visited Shawell lagoons, not too many gulls were present, but a 1winter Yellow-legged Gulls was amongst the Herring and Lesser-black backed Gulls. A Green Woodpecker was present, they like the banks, which are good for ants. A Mistle Thrush dropped in, one has been heard singing a little way off. Two Little-ringed Plover were found after awhile, they may have flew in from some new nearby pools which had 4 LRPs seen earlier by Carl. A single Swallow and 3 Sand Martins flew around the lagoons for a while.
Afterwards I popped back to the new pools and 2 LRPs were present, and also a Green Sandpiper. These pools look like they have good potential, I shall keep an eye on them and find out more whether they will be permanent or temporary.
