An hour around the mere this evening. 100s of Sand martin feasting on clouds of midges, the duck including the distant drake Garganey were busy supping in the pupae by the look of it as well. With the glut of insects odd there were no obvious wagtails. First Sedge warblers with 3-4 around the mere and a female Whitethroat. The 2 young coot still around, a nesting crow was carrying what looked like a coots egg. Pair Tufted duck, Shoveler 4 pair and 7 male, Teal a pair and a male. Pair Wigeon. Shelduck in Trehills field. 2 Whimbrel.
