This morning I again walked the 100m to the lake and proceeded to do the morning circuit, over 100 Sand Martins were feeding low over the water, yesterday there were over 300 of them in what would have been perfect ringing conditions!!!
A Tufted duck with 7 newly hatched young, two immature Great Crested Grebes and an adult and immature Little Grebe set the scene.
The beauty of this location is that within 500m you are on the beach/estuary and this morning there were 6 Mediterranean Gulls and 4 Little Egrets.
I have found a lovely wooded/scrub area for ringing and am in the process of obtaining permission to ring so fingers crossed.
