8°C with mostly 8/8 cloud, a cold north easterly breeze and a few short sunny intervals.
Wintersett Res: Mallard 25 + 3 vs young + 4 CHRes. A Willow Tit family party with fledglings was on the east bank. Common Tern 1.
Anglers CP: Redshank 1, Curlew 1, Oystercatcher 4 adults + 2 young and Greylag Goose 55. Today, at 13.45hrs, a fox was seen on the islands, which explains why breeding success has been disastrous this year. For example:From 44 pairs of Black-headed Gull there are only 4 young remaining. It seems foxes are a major problem here and at other sites in the region.
