Hi Des. I was just about to text you re water level. Can you check the flow through the pipe as well (it might have become blocked with vegetation) The level is the same as yesterday evening, thus flow is counteracted by the rain ? Tomorrow should be dry so evaporation should come into play. I have just noticed blackwits and little gulls are on the move.

Hi Des.
Has one of the 2nd Summer meds got a lot of white specks in its hood? - especially around the bill?
One of the 3 second summers I saw on Saturday was distinct in this respect.

Well Trace we can definitely say they bred locally judging by the lack of primary projection on the juv's wings. A great sequence of shots. :t: john
