Shelduck Drop In.

 A pair of Green Woodpeckers were below the dam.

 On the 13th four Shelduck dropped in to have a rest.

 A pair of Herring Gulls are looking all "Loved Up" at the outflow.

 We don't often have Herring Gulls hanging around at Thornton. Indicates a change in behaviour.

 A Water Rail was feeding in the outflow stream. There was also, what I presume is another bird at the top end yesterday.
