That's it...now another 28 days of brooding!

No. 8 arrived at 7.10 this morning.

 The Mallard has been brooding all day today and only departed for two half hours to presumably get 'fed and watered'.

I was somewhat alarmed to note the sediment/oil/ algae on the Lagoon this morning at the western end.
Heard a Blackcap in the Lagoon bushes and noted a pair of Meadow Pipits along the harbour fringe. Plenty of Linnets and Greenfinches in the gorse but little else of interest.
