Hirundines were moving in good numbers from 15.30hrs until I left at 16.45hrs. Groups of up to 23 House Martins totalling 53 birds, 7 Swallows and 5 Sand Martins all heading north. An Oystercatcher flew north. A female Mallard had a brood of 13 very small young and the female Mute Swan was on a nest.
