September 9th

The Grey Phalarope was still present this morning, once again well away from the shoreline at the western end.

4 Black Terns (2 adult, 2 juvenile) were also present, interestingly one of the adults had only just began moulting out of summer plumage. A Hobby again tried to make a pass at the swallows and martins around the car park but was unsuccessfull. A Common Sandpiper was noted on the northern shoreline. 1 Gadwall, 1 Pochard and 2 Grey Wagtail were also present.
