Another cloudy, windy morning. After I had done a quick tour of the south end, Dave joined me for a walk around the rest of the patch.
It proved to be pretty uneventful. The pair of Shelducks was still present, and we eventually saw a couple of Swifts going over. The current chick situation is that one brood of Lapwings has hatched, one brood of Mallard, and so far two broods each of Moorhens and Coots.

Dissatisfied with our efforts we decided to drive to Haselor to see if there was anything there. This plan proved useful insofar as the single Shelduck was still present, proving that the Morton Bagot birds were different. We also saw a pair of Little Ringed Plovers, a Redshank, and a Lapwing chick.
