An hour or two around the south part of the lake was pleasant in the late evening sun. The Swans have done well, as have the Grey Herons and Cormorants. There only appears to be one Little Egret nest this year, containing at least one well grown young. The nest is extremely well hidden and easily missed. Sadly the Common Terns have failed totally so far, but several pairs seem to be trying again. We don't know what predated the first broods, so this attempt is likely to end in the same way.

| Great Crested Grebe - Three nest appear to have been built in the past five days including this one which already has eggs. When I returned an hour later one bird was sitting and the other was piling on materials around the nest! They seem to have started breeding rather late this year. |
