4th June - a morning visit on a pleasant sunny day. Swifts were much in evidence with around 100 flying around fairly low over the lake, though numbers soon started to dwindle. Bird of the day was a Cuckoo - surprisingly my first here this year - the cold Spring must be a factor. The bird never called and I suspect it might be a mated female looking for a nest to lay in. It flew from trees on the western view point to the base of the spit. Later, presumably the same silent bird flew east from trees on the southern bank.
There were no waders on site and 4 Shelduck were the best of the rest.
On the way out, I stopped in the village to finally add House Sparrow to the year list - a bird nesting under some roof tiles. 2 Hobbies were also seen circling west fairly high over the church.
