Field pool fading

I had a quick trip to Cotham Flash this evening, having not been there for a while. It was a bit quiet; a female Mallard with 9 ducklings and a drake Shoveler were on the flash itself, whilst the rapidly shrinking field pool held a Ringed Plover (hopefully the female is nesting nearby) and at least 2 juv Lapwings, one now quite well grown. Also present were two male Gadwall and a few Yellow Wags buzzing around.
