The most wheatear so far with 30 on my walk, many looked big and bright. A first swift dwarfing the hirundines over the mere. 9 whimbrel, a ringed plover, a dunlin and 2 lapwing, one of the males chased off a herring gull. 2 other ringed plover opposite the entrance to West Hook on the little flood. 13 coot, a couple on nests, 9 moorhen was a surprise, Shoveler 4 pair and 3 male was on the low side, teal 7 pairs, 3 shelduck and 3 pair Tufted duck. Still a bit quiet, just a couple of sedge warbler and 3 whitethroat.
