Still a little quiet for the time of year, but the highlight this evening was a Yellow Wagtail in with a flock of c50 Pied Wagtail and 3 Grey Wagtail. Coot numbers building up quickly now with 720 present.
Could not find the Little Stint this evening, but Ringed Plover and Common Sand present. Coot numbers building up quickly now with 1250. Also 45 Pochard, 3 Wigeon and 6 Teal my first autumn records.
No sign of the Diver this morning, but big increase in Pochard during the week, now up to 493. 1 Red-crested Pochard and 1 Little Grebe. Still no Goldeneye!
The two female-type Red-crested Pochards still present this afternoon. Also a probable Tufty x Pochard hybrid which had me going for a while - looked like it could be a 1st-winter drake Lesser Scaup while asleep, but when I finally got a good look at the bill-tip pattern a hybrid origin seemed much more likely.
3 Goosander noted near dusk, but nothing unusual picked out of the gull roost.
