Much less stormy day, yesterdays ad RT Diver had moved on. Most waterfowl numbers are low now. Only 2 goosanders, 2 goldeneye, 59 coot seen. Fifteen cormorants feeding. 200+ Herring Gulls, 6 Common Gulls, 25 BH Gulls bathing regularly (washing off the slurry from their feathers and feet from a slurry-soaked field they had been feeding on all day - another potential source of lake nutrient enrichment!). Heard only one chiffchaff today. I hope RC managed to get some decent images of L Egret.
A nest I thought was in use by herons (seen nest-building recently) has seemingly been taken over by ravens (female sitting, male fed her) but carrion crows are giving them some grief as it is probably close to a tree they are wanting to nest in - there is no love lost between these "Corvid cousins"!
Fairly quiet day at Bosherston
