June is usually the dullest month in the WeBS calendar and this morning's count proved no exception, with 208 Canada Geese (including a pair with three young), 47 Mute Swans, 20 Mallards, eight Shelducks (plus two young), 14 Oystercatchers, one Curlew, 14 Little Egrets, three Grey Herons, 22 Black-headed Gulls, four Cormorants and one Shag noted. A Firecrest was heard singing in a new location, further highlighting this species' change in fortune locally.
