A milder start, 7 degrees, with drizzly rain and a light southerly.
Wintersett Res: Steve Denny heard the Cetti's Warbler calling on the west bank clump and then picked up a Bar-tailed Godwit on the boathouse slipway at 07.50hrs, thus adding a new bird to the year list to equal the all time record of 179 species. It stayed until 08.35, when it was flushed off by a Heron. It flew calling to the shallows at Anglers CP. and eventually left south at 10.38hrs. An excellent start to the working week for him!
