A bright start to the day for a change, but with very little cloud picking up migrating birds wasn’t easy.
Shoveler: one on the boating lake.
Gadwall: one on the boating lake.
Common Buzzard: one mobbed by crows over the Brew House meadows.

Cettis Warbler: one bird calling also in this area but more towards the river.
I did glimpse twice deep in some brambles near the Water Gardens a small brown, flesh coloured legged warbler. It was tacking very softly.
possibly one of the better photos that I have taken of a Cormorant
At one time this tree had over 20 pipits in it.
