The day was spent checking the area for the now departed Whooper Swan from Silverlake (Warmwell Gravel Pits) which is 4-5 miles south of the farm.

The increase in surface area of water has seen a dispersal of wildfowl across the farm.

Athelhampton held the majority of the Canada Geese along with Barnacle Goose 6 and a Green Sandpiper.

A Goosander was noted on Mill Mead.

Cattle Egret 3 were noted with cattle opposite Home Farmhouse.

Lapwing numbers reached 140 at Mill Mead.
