This was bird count day but the new lagoons held little of interest apart from a single male Blackcap and a pair of migrating Lesser Whitethroats in the trees close to lagoon 5. As I scoped over lagoon 1 I managed to find a single male Ruff amongst the Cormorants and wildfowl. After a brief trip back to Stamford I stopped at the dam and quickly found an adult Yellow- legged Gull on the southern shoreline. This seems to be a popular spot for this species. Further examination of the North Arm was fruitless until I scoped the far west end of the fishponds and there located a couple of skulking Green Sandpipers. All in all a quiet day.
