23rd May - cloudy am, sunny pm before clouding over again, 20C, but breezy NE

Frolesworth Manor Lake; a look here as I was passing is often worth while. Today the Great-crested Grebe was sitting on the nest, not long before it should hatch now.  5 Mute Swans, a few Mallard and a Tufted Duck were on the lake. Overhead Swift, Houise Martin, Swallow and a couple of Sand Martin.
A Lesser Whitethroat was singing from the hedgerow, with a Blackcap nearby.  11+ Starlings were feeding on the horse paddock, collecting food and taking off to young.

Cotesbach landfill; a look here in the evening to see if I could find the juv Iceland Gull.  I did not but a Peregrine swooped at the Gulls and 4 Red Kite were seeking food.
