Grafham Water - 8 May 2013

Initially very murky with intermittent rain until 8 am and south-easterly winds, becoming brighter through the day

A couple of hours on the dam early morning and a lunchtime repeat visit with a walk to the lagoons.

A bit of movement early morning with a Little Tern straight through east and 8 Arctic Terns through south-east after lingering off the dam for a while. 13 Ringed Plovers circled the Dam before heading off ENE into the murk. Just 4 Yellow Wagtails were counted and a single Common Sandpiper was on the dam. Garden Warblers were present in numbers many singing with c.12 between the south end of the Dam and the Lagoons a wave of Chiffchaffs was also evident with c 18 in the same area. 2 Avocets and a single Bar-tailed Godwit were on the lagoons.
