8 goosanders (a good record here) arrived at dusk from the south, stayed a few minutes, and flew off south again! Lots of other wildfowl; 109 tufties, 5 pochards, 126 coots, 83 Canadas plus the two hybrid geese. 15 mallards of assorted ages, 3 moorhens, 3 GG grebes (including a pair now nesting on the new platform), 1 little grebe, 2 mute swans and 1 common sandpiper.  Approx 100 swifts and 200 swallows coming very low as the rain came in. A fox was touring the reservoir banks as darkness fell.

On Roath Park Lake, a female tufted duck was escorting a single tiny duckling. Also, a colour-ringed black headed gull, white 24H9 (right leg).
