Only a fleeting visit from myself today , but Rob H spent an hour onsite , doing a circuit of the lake

I had REED WARBLER and the Cettis still along the North Inlet , also Blackcap here , 1 SAND MARTIN thru south and 11 Great Crested Grebes

Rob fared a bit better , with the above Warblers plus a COMMON WHITETHROAT at the north Inlet, another REED WARBLER by Main bridge , TREECREEPER still singing in Small wood , along with GOLDCREST , Great Spotted and Green Woodpecker and 2 Chiffchaffs , a further 4 Blackcaps were heard around the lake

He also had 2 LBB Gulls fly over and 3 SAND MARTINS thru from Shenley Lodge

Thanks Rob !

Cheers
