The Glossy Ibis was still in residence on Ferry Lane Lake, and gave a couple of good fly-bys. Wildfowl numbers were noticeably down, with only a handful of Wigeon left, and not many more Teal, but Shelduck numbers were up to 21 across the site.

It's hotting up
Today was the first day on the patch when it really felt like spring was happening. 2 Ringed Plovers, a Dunlin and Curlew on Ferry Lane Lake and my first LRP of the year on the Silt Lagoon (first seen yesterday by John E) were evidence of wader passage, whilst my first hirundines of the year, in the form of 3, and then another 4 Sand Martins, were chattering over Ferry Lane Lake; four patch yearticks in a couple of hours.
