As for reports, a quiet day with no sightings from the lake sites and so no great white egrets!
The female Eider still on Marine Lake, Weston-supper-Mare. Much closer today allowing for some nice photos. She was mobbed by gulls at one point but seems to be feeding well.

Nice to see closer up but be warned, other long-stayers at this location haven't fared well.
