Common Tern pair seem to be Summering on the raft on the west pool , no signs of any breeding ,just seem to be chilling this summer, nice to see after lean years .

Great Crested Grebe the same they seem to stay every summer for the last umpteen years without ever getting young off , both showing no signs of breeding.

Plenty of regular summer visitors and residents to see this morning, looks to be a decent season so far without anything spectacular.
