Went to have a look at the Mere today. The Lapwing and Golden Plover were making use of the green islands across the wetland area. I was one short of Brians Tufted count only getting 4. Highlight was a very brief glimpse of a Merlin hunting around the willow bush next to the hide. It then landed on one of the boundary hedges to the south of the track.
