On the water were varying numbers of Mallard and Tufted Duck.

Commons

B/H, one of which has complete black cap already.
Several immature of the above
Coot
Moorhen
Gt Crested Grebe 1
Pair of Mute Swans, still with last of their cygnets. It was thought the cygnet was unable to fly, but all three took flight this morning dispelling that idea.
