Saturday September 30th a.m.
A cloudy start to the morning with a biting wind making if feel much colder than the 9°C temperature. There were c50
Lapwings in the field next to the Tarn and as I walked round I caught sight of two returning
Goosanders.Then a real bonus as I spotted a
Shoveler, a site first for me here at the Tarn and on the island there was a
Grey Heron.Others included 15
Tufted Ducks, c75
BH Gulls,5
LBB Gulls and a
Common Gull and also eight
Pied Wagtails were flitting about.Another bonus came as I was looking through the
Mallards on the banking when I spotted a
Wigeon with them.
