Lisvane: lots of disturbance today (strimming) but the highlight was a yellow-legged type gull among 87 lessers and 12 herring gulls out on the water. Just 8 tufties left now, plus 6 gc grebes, 8 coots, 5 mallards, 1 mute swan, grey and pied wags. A tame black pheasant in the car park!

Llanishen: The incremental rise in water levels continues, with the south pool now extending as far as the nearest of the three middle pools. 4 little grebes, 2 gc grebes, 6 tufted, 9 mallard, 7 coots, 1 Canada, 2 moorhens, 1 mute swan and lots of hirundines ahead of the rain. A dry-land roost of 76 LBB gulls and 10 herring gulls did not include any colour-ringed birds.
