Oil’s birds still present this evening plus 6 Cattle Egret on the large weedy island (there can’t be too many records for the site?), 5 Pintail, 2 Dunlin, Hobby, the usual RCP.

2 little & a great (!) egret on the slipway this morning, also a common sandpiper. Seemed to be more mallard present than I’ve seen for a while, but didn’t count them or walk right around.
