Grafham Water - 12 May 2012

Dam area 0645 -9.00 - lovely bright sunny morning
Red Rumped Swallow - still present for it's 5th day and looking rather weary taking every opportunity to rest on the tarmac dam road in between brief airborne sortees and disturbance from cyclists/joggers

also 1 Turnstone feeding on the dam wrack, a summer-plumage Sanderling, 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 Roseate Tern appeared over the Dam at 07.20 with 26 Common terns in a typically tight migratory group and flew off high north too quickly for me to get a photo, 1 Turtle Dove, c 30 Swifts, c 18 Swallows, 8 yellow Wagtails, 2 Spotted Flycatchers near Plummer.
