Whooper Swan - strange record of a distressed bird in the wood by sailing club lake. I think it had been driven there by aggressive local Mute Swans. I was initially worried it may have been caught or injured, but as I slowly walked towards it, it crashed out of the wood, took off, and flew across the lake, so it was ok.
Pink-footed Goose - single bird with feral geese on and adjacent to sailing club lake; Wigeon (good number), Goldeneye (good number), Teal (3), Oystercatcher (many), Curlew (2), Redshank (4+), Herring Gull (2-3), Lesser Black-backed Gull (1), Stock Dove (c8)
