Arrived at Ardmore Point at first light and enjoyed a couple of hours doing the usual anti-clockwise circuit. Bird highlights included a flock of 21 Canada Geese which arrived in North Bay from over the sea, a flock of nine Greylag Geese over south, two Great-crested Grebes head-shaking out on the sea, Robin and Wren singing in the sunshine, Shelducks bickering on the flats, two Ravens calling over the middle wood and Rock and Meadow Pipits scrapping on the beach. Non-bird highlights included a bright orange fungus on Gorse stems, a nice patch of Polypody, Honeysuckle still flowering and Ivy flowers being exploited by swarms of wasps (photos below).
Back home, a patch of what I think is Shaggy Ink Cap has appeared on the back lawn.
