29th September

Needless to say there was no sign of yesterdays Arctic Terns this morning; or much else for that matter. 2 Swallow flew south mid morning along with a few Meadow Pipits. One of the Chiloe Wigeon was again present with the Mallards.

25th September

Todays highlight was an adult Yellow legged Gull, which dropped in with 3 adult Herring and 10+ LBB Gull mid morning. 5 Swallow flew low south over the small pool early morning, and there was a steady passage of Meadow Pipit (around 100 per hour counted at nearby Marsh Lane NR late morning). On the plastic front, what was presumably one of last months Chiloe Wigeon was present again at the east end of the main pool.

A peregrine flew north, to the west of the site, mid morning. As it flew through a Teal and several Lapwing were flushed from the coleshill gravel pit area. Otherwise the site was quiet.

After an absence of a week or so a single Pochard was on the main pool. Also noted this morning were 2 Gadwall, 1 Grey Wagtail and a Raven flew north over the main pool.
