Broom East GPs

Some decent variety today but wildfowl numbers seem to have settled now albeit with minor fluctuations.  The following minimum counts were;

44 Gadwall
41 Wigeon
26 Teal
1 Shoveler
2 Common Pochard
2 Tufted Duck
1 Great Crested Grebe

An approximate count of 270 Lapwing were circling the area and 37 high flying Golden Plover were noted headed west.

Three Common Snipe roosted on the large island and there was a decent congregation of larids that included 23 Common Gull, 22 Lesser black backed Gull, and four Herring Gull.

A female Sparrowhawk flew through as did four Redwing.

Around 40 Skylark were present again and a pair of Stonechat were active near the pond.
