Storm Ernesto clipped the region today and brought with it a juvenile Kittiwake off the dam from 2.10pm- 4pm at least. The eclipse drake Lesser Scaup remains off the dam and is now undergoing a heavy wing moult, so probably wont be going anywhere soon. The 2 Garganey were at the west end, also 2 Goosander were new arrivals. An adult female Ruff dropped in at midday and was only the 2nd record of the year, also 1 Greenshank, 2 Ringed Plover, 2 LRP, 6 Common Sandpiper and 3 Snipe were present. A Goshawk, Red Kite, 2 Hobby and a Peregrine were all seen today. 14 Swift flew thru. 3 Little Egret were noted.
