After the recent plummet in Common Teal numbers from over 400 to just eight birds it is good to see that a recovery is underway with at least 118 present throughout the site this morning; Tufted Duck numbers were also up with 34 on the basin and one on Bow Creek; other notable wildfowl included the female Pintail on Bow Creek before being flushed by members of the Thames 21 clean-up team and two Shelduck. Apart from that it was fairly quiet in the mild conditions, three Redshank and a Common Sandpiper were at Bow Creek, a Stock Dove flew north and a pair of Pied Wagtails were foraging on the Bow Creek foreshore on the falling tide.
