August 29th

Common Darter.

Common Darter.

The main pool was relatively quiet this morning. Yesterdays 3 Greylag Geese were again in the Canada Goose flock. Lapwings totaled 66, along with 1 Common Sandpiper, 2 Grey Heron, 3 Cormorant and 1 Gadwall. A Hobby flew low over the pool late morning. The area to the north east of the fishing lodge was again productive with 7 Bullfinch, 2 or possibly 3 Willow tit, 2 Nuthatch, 4 GS Woodpecker and 4 Goldcrest. At least 8 Chiffchaff were around the site, with the majority of these being in the north east corner. Singles of Jay and Green Woodpecker were also noted. Dragonflys seen included 5+ Brown Hawker, 3 Migrant Hawker and 1 Common Darter. The warm but cloudy weather also produced 1 Red Admiral, 1 Small Copper and 6+ Speckled Wood.
