20°C, cloudy and  humid with a SW breeze.
Anglers CP:  Oystercatcher 1 over,  Teal 1,  Common Tern 6,   Little Grebe 2 adults,  Common Gull 1and   3rd Summer Yellow-legged Gull.  The female Goldeneye that has over-summered because she couldn't fly has begun her wing moult.  Let's hope she'll be airborne soon.
