Cotesbach Landfill; very quiet, except a Peregrine was attempting to catch a Coot chick, on the third attempt it picked one up and took it over to the spoil heaps where it ate it, got a distant record photo.
A Swift, House and Sand Martins plus Swallows over the sandpit area. Six Little Grebes - adults always chasing the juvs off.
Eyebrook reservoir; a look here during the afternoon. At the inlet, three Common Sandpipers, a single Black-tailed Godwit, Lapwings, three Teal and Shoveler, a few Gadwall, Little Grebes, a good number of Great-crested Grebe. Only a single Grey Heron seen. Starling (13) on the shore side.
A Red Kite over, a few Sand Matins too. Plenty of Common terns over the water and still feeding youngsters.
