We arrived at LFGP to find the Mute Swans had laid one egg, but she left the nest and did not return for ages, then sat 6 feet away, before sitting again for the last hour we were there. Along with the Coots nest to the front right I can only hope they still hatch young. I expect the swans will continue to lay, as they did mate again while we were there.
The Common Terns took an immediate interest in our rafts, so we can be optimistic they will soon be settling down too.
Later on as we worked, I heard Little-ringed Plover, but could not pick it up, about 20-30 minutes later it flew over again and I saw it heading towards Sandford Farm. Let us pray it doesn't rain too much this week and that them, the Lapwings, Redshank and Oystercatcher all have success.
Shortly before we left a Hobby came over low and off towards Sandford Farm.
