A mid-morning visit to the patch today produced my first Willow Warbler of the year, though not singing and actively feeding it was presumably a passage bird. Surprisingly there was a total of eight Tufted Ducks present today, all at the northern end and all but one being a male. Also at the northern end a total of two hundred Herring Gulls present, the vast majority being sub-adult birds.
A couple of Linnets were with a small flock of Goldfinches not that far from the Canoe Club and a pair of Ravens were sat atop one of the pylons.
The only other birds of note were a pair of Bullfinches near the Water Treatment Works and at least four Blackcaps are now back on territory.
