Young fox drinking at the pond.

Very little visible movements with southbound 22 Swift, 10 Black-headed Gull, 2 Sand Martin, Curlew, Heron & Whimbrel plus 10 Shelduck out then north quite possibly off to their moulting grounds in the Waddenzee. On site dispersing juveniles including 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker, Blackcap & Black Redstart.


The Magpie is apparently a common and widespread species but barely noted once a year here.
