BELVIDE Cloudy NNE 2

 Firstly, The Spotted Redshank I thought I heard yesterday was wrong. There is something else calling and sounding like a distant Spotshank from the Chappell hide, that I can't pin point what it is?

 A Whimbrel flew south at 8.03am, also 1 Black-tailed Godwit, 7 Common Sandpiper and 18 LRP were present. The juvenile Black-necked Grebe remains off the dam. The juvenile Mediterranean Gull was present this morning. 2 Great Egret and 6 Little Egret were at the west end. A Little Grebe was feeding 2 chicks off the Scott hide reed bed. 2 Hobby and 3 Red Kite were noted. At least 20 Small Red Eyed Damselflies (photo) were on the pool inside the Chappell bund.
