Another day with fresh winds, initially from the south-west, then later in the afternoon veering north-east with heavy showers again.
Two visits today to the dam from 0630-0800 and Hill Farm, Mander and the south end of the dam 1530-1700.
3 Yellow-legged Gulls; 3 Arctic Terns were off the dam early morning with 1 off the fishing lodge later in the day; 8 Common Terns. The heavy afternoon showers had brought down numbers of hirundines with c. 300 Swallows, c. 60 Sand Martin and c. 100 House Martins off Hill Farm there were also c. 400 Swifts.
A single Little Ringed Plover was on the dam late afternoon on 25 May, little else noted though in a two hour trawl of the north side of the reservoir apart from 6 Common Buzzards and 2 Red Kites.
