Not quite as exciting as Simon's ticktastic day, but at Linford this evening, 2 singing Garden Warbler were new in. The Cuckoo was still calling and a Kingfisher zipped past the hide.
The water levels are the highest I've ever seen them though, so whilst a few Coot nests are still visible, I imagine Oycs, Canadas, swans and possibly even the Kingfishers have had their nests destroyed.
Linford is normally very slow to drain too, so I don't expect to be seeing the bund for a couple of weeks. Hopefully though the newly arrived Acro's have got plenty of time to nest successfully once the water goes down.
No sign of the Pochard, the Garganeys or the Wigeon either.
