Success, one youngster had hatched, possibly whilst I was there! (I subsequently found out that another birder had recorded one of the adults turning the eggs in the morning, so it definitely hatched on Monday).
Two other pairs of Great Crested Grebes have been successful with broods of 2 and 3; this is one of the youngsters ...
In addition to the grebes there was still a brood of 11 Tufted duckling (record shot) ...
In amongst the 100s of other gulls, a Great Black-backed Gull was a bit of a surprise ..
.. as was my second ever sighting of a Water Rail - poor cropped photo ........
Finally, there were good numbers of adult and juvenile Willow Warblers, which posed for me as I was attacked by swarming, flying ants ....
What a brilliant day!
