Common Tern: three were present at 6.30am but then flew off westwards, one returned at 7.10am.
Swift: 40 birds were feeding and drinking over the ponds.
Sand Martin: two were feeding with the swifts.
Kingfisher: one flew over the lake before using several perches along the edge of Pen Ponds Plantation.
Grey Wagtail: three birds were hanging around the causeway.
A slightly misty start to the day, which had all cleared by 6.30am.
An adult Grey Heron flies across the lake to scare off a juvenile.
The tern is starting to look a little shabby.
