Longest day

A quick march around all the main lakes from 08:30, heard Oystercatcher on Sandford, but couldn't see one, no sign of any Gadwall, so they are either hiding, or lost all their young. Plenty of Common Tern and Black-headed Gull chicks here, Tufted Ducks looking interested, plus Grey Wagtail over.

At Lavell's 2 Ring-necked Parakeet over, no sign of Little Grebes and it is evident they lost all their young, which is a really big shame, again several terns and Bh gull chicks.

LFGP had 20-30+ Lapwing, some juveniles, a Little-ringed Plover from who knows where? The pair of eclipse Shoveler, a good number of tern and BH gull chicks, singing Skylark at the back, making 82 species for the month, the third highest in June, unless someone has heard or seen Lesser Whitethroat, Nuthatch, or Coal Tit and any other waders?

On Tern Scrape a doe and her foal wandered around nibbling in the deep Crassula
