A beautiful, calm and frosty morning, with some modest-sized flocks, including 130 lapwing. The golden plover were, of course, the highlight.

While we did have a bit of a rain shower on the Great Fen yesterday, late in the afternoon, it has been a dry summer.

40 Whooper Swan have been seen up at Rymes Reedbed, sometimes visible from Trundle Mere Lookout, feeding in the fields to the north, near Farcet, in the company of Mute Swan.
