There was an influx of Swift with at least 250 present overhead along with 100 House Martin, 200 Swallow and 40 Sand Martin.
On the wader front we had a Greenshank which circled the reservoir before landing briefly on farborough bank but flew off when some mouthy walkers approached, Little Ringed Plover, 3 Ringed Plover and Dunlin on the spit and at least 4 Common Sandpiper seen. Only other birds of note were 3 Yellow-legged Gull and 6 Yellow Wagtail.
