Had a couple of hours spare so went to Kirkby on Bain reserve 1430 - 1600.
Two egrets at the back of the reserve. They are becoming a bit common now, I usually see an egret wherever I go lately. I took a photo of one for posterity, as also for the Egyptian geese.
Also noticed 2 Wigeon, only about 10 black headed gulls, 10 little grebe, 20 or more coots and about 10 moorhen. A flock of about 100 lapwing were flying off as I approached, but there were still a good 20 left.There wered 6 Egyptian geese.
Ducks included 50plus mallard, same for teal. About 20 gadwall and a few tufted duck.
2 cormorants.
There were about 20 hirundines flying around but they were associated with the neighbourhood rather than the reserve.
A jay flew across into the woods, and a kingfisher flew across the front of the hide twice.
Finally there was a rather plump chicken wandering around the reserve... must have crossed the road!
