Bingham's Pond Webs Count

I undertook the monthly Webs count at Bingham's Pond yesterday (15th). There were no surprises, other than the glorious weather!

Wetland birds count: 2 Mute Swan, 11 Mallard, 8 Tufted Duck, 6 Coot, 17 Moorhen (including at least 6 juveniles), 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull, 13 Black-headed Gulls and the 2 'farmyard' ducks. There was no sign of the 2 cayuga type mallard but they could have been hidden by the vegetation.
 
Another photo of a juvenile Moorhen!
