I spotted a Froglet in the grass this morning, about 1cm long. We think of Frogs breeding in the Spring, but they breed throughout the summer too to,some extent.
I had a look at Shawell lagoons early evening, quite a few gulls were in, I could only find one colour ringed full, a adult Lesser Black-backed (DBD), ringed Gloucestershire in 2008. A super adult Yellow-legged Gull was busy preening, unfortunately not bearing a ring though.
A lot of Canada Geese were in, 96, I've not seen this many here for awhile. About 15 Mallard and 6 Tufted Duck were on the water, as were two Little Grebe, while a Mute Swan swan around rather leisurely.
A calling Yellow Wagtsil flew over and may have landed nearby, a single Goldfinch also flew over.
