A flock of seven Black-tailed Godwits of the Icelandic race were at ARC for most of the day before a released helium balloon floated across the pit and spooked the duck and godwits leaving the area in front of Hanson hide relatively devoid of birds. I don't understand why people litter the point with these damn balloons that are so dangerous to wildlife, especially marine life. Whenever I venture out in to the desert, i'm always finding the bloody things littering the area and I collect them and dispose of them.
Recently Red-eyed Damselfly has been in front of Hanson hide.
Broods of duck continue to appear on ARC. Tufted with eight ducklings and Gadwall with seven.
The Caspian Tern continues to sleep and rest on Burrowes in between short foraging trips to Dengemarsh. I could hear it calling this evening.
There is the usual late colony of breeding Common Terns establishing on Burrowes. At least 39 Common Terns this evening with potentially 10 sitting birds.
