Grafham water 18 July; at least 3 Yellow-legged Gulls and a lot of Common Terns off the dam. Still no plastic cards for annual carpark permit holders - make sure you log your registration number in the office for the barriers to open until cards available!
 
Grafham Water 19 July; 5 Dunlin on the dam early morning only; 5 Common Scoters and Black-necked Grebe in the centre until late morning. No sign of grebe late pm but the illegal car rave in Mander carpark may not have helped. AWA need to sort this sort of behaviour before a young child is killed.
 
Grafham water 25 July: Osprey late morning ; 3 Crossbills through Mander Carpark; Turnstone on the dam plus 2 Dunlins. Several Yellow-legged Gulls,
 
Grafham Water 26 July am, Osprey seen from the dam around 09.30 Yellow-legged Gulls dotted around and a lot of Yellow Wagtails on the dam. Car park passes now available for season ticket holders otherwise pay to view on the hourly rate, no more freeloaders at least!
 
Grafham Water 31 July ; early am Turnstone and two Dunlin on the dam. Several Yellow-legged Gulls (no sign of Ad Caspian Gull by 10.00 on dam). Around 60-70 Yellow Wagtails and a surprise Wheatear briefly.
 
Grafham Water 8 Aug ; Great White Egret in Dudney Creek mid morning. Turnstone on the dam. Osprey in the evening from Fishing Lodge. At least 60 Common Terns in the evening
 
Grafham Water 15 Aug ; Sanderling on the dam and an assortment of Yellow-legged Gulls

Late pm: Little Gull juv off Fishing lodge. Osprey and Great Skua distantly from the dam thanks to RBA and texts from MH back at Mander...

Also: Great White Egret still

Great Stukeley : 17 Aug Pied Flycatcher briefly at 0700 from my kitchen window while washing up. The bridleway behind Park View is the best place probably if it hangs around.
 
Grafham water 20 Aug early morning; Osprey , Black Tern and Great White Egret still.

Black Tern still in evening off Fishing Lodge plus Dunlin on the dam.
