Blenheim: Blenheim Lake
Kingfisher
3 Oystercatcher: two adults and one fully fledged juvenile on the grassy bank on the lakeside close to the island.
7 Common Tern
10 Cattle Egret: At least 10 birds on the island. Nests? 3 maybe more, very difficult to be sure.
15 Little Egret: Mainly still on the island.
10 Grey Heron: suprisingly still one nest on the island with two fairly young juv.
30 Tufted Duck: Very nice to see a brood of four very young juv.
6 Pied Wagtail: 1 adult with five fledged young, seemed to have adopted one grey wag juv as well.
36 Great Crested Grebe: Feels like a good year, plenty of growing juv and still several on nests.
11 Mute Swan: three broods of 4, 4 and 2 juv.
