Grafham Water 17 June 2012

Did three hours early morning along the dam and lagoons area, nice morning, a fresh SW wind and sunny.

A further increase in Yellow-legged Gulls today with certainly 12 present this morning - 4 ads, 1 4th calendar year bird, 2 2nd calendar year birds and at least 5 3rd calendar year birds, one of the latter was colour ringed and based on the coding appears to have been ringed on the Balearics.
Otherwise 2 Little Egrets, 1 Common Sandpiper, c400 Swifts were the best of it. Several Willow Warblers in full voice this morning indicative of failed first broods.
