Location: Boston, South Lincs
TIME: 14:30 - 17:00
WEATHER - Wild, Wet and Windswept!

Star Performers - the six-or-so baby Avocets emerging shyly from underneath Mummy Avocet taking their first few exploratory nibbles into the mud etc..! Aww.....

OTHER SPECIES SEEN:

Canada Goose - usuals around the reserve
Canada/Greylag hybrid young, with Canada/Greylag parents & 1 fully-grown canada/Greylag hybrid
Brent Goose - 3 flocks on wetland (well, everywhere was wet!)

Mallards - usuals around the reserve
Tufted Duck - 2 M, 2 F
Shelduck - few on wetland and more on salt marsh
Shoveler - 1 on reservoir

Black-headed Gull - loads on nests, with lots of young now hatched and growing
Greater Black-backed Gull - 3 flying around or getting buffeted by wind
Herring Gull - 3 over lagoon

Oystercatcher - about 25 dotted around lagoon, with a pair mating!
Ringed Plover - 1
Redshank - 2

Little Egret - 2
Cormorant - 3, with 2 adopting wing-drying pose at various points. 1 seen diving in lagoon later.

Pied Wagtail - 2
Starling - few small flocks around with at least 6 young seen
Wren - usual place near the little pumping station
Swallow - lots getting blown around over wetland
Blackbird - 5
House Sparrow - 4
Greenfinch - 2 F and 1 M on feeders
Magpie - 1

After surviving gales-force winds and rain for 2.5 hours, I am beginning to suspect my endurance and hardiness as a birdwatcher have come on in leaps and bounds since I started life as a birder about 2 years ago..... or am I just a foolhardy masochist?
