Pleased to find a male Lesser Emperor at #LMGP this lunchtime - couple of distant record shots. In fact, I think there may have been 2 but not conclusive. Second site record, 1st in 2005. A species on the increase in the UK.

A 2cy Caspian Gull dropped in to #LMGP this morning with good numbers of LWHG. Much more advanced than the bird earlier this week, also probably a female as quite dainty. Open wing shows moult in inner primaries.

Greenshank and Ringed Plover came through #LMGP this week. Some distant cropped records.

Waders moving at #LMGP today: 15 Common Sandpipers on the spit first thing is my largest Spring flock, a nice Ringed Plover joined the throng for an hour until c8am and was replaced by this spangly Wood Sandpiper. Rubbish light 1st thing so returned this pm 👌

This morning's Whimbrel at #LMGP. A record bit of slowed down cropped video taken at 6:30am, just as it decided to continue its migration

A few other new birds for the year this past week on my #LMGP patch: Whitethroat, Reed Warbler, Common Tern and Common Sandpiper. Always good to get a record shot even though most of these are very distant. Only the second Wheatear of the year - poor passage so far.

A smart South American Ashy-headed Goose (yellow ringed) at #LMGP first thing, but flew south at 7am. Presumably the bird seen at Maple Lodge NR yesterday. Raised neck and whistled when alarmed. Ring code started 8 N to add to the 3162 seen yesterday @birdmanuk68

A Great White Egret has been seen a few times this week at #LMGP. This morning it landed on the main island for a while but was off again after 20 mins

Migrants still thin on the ground on my #LMGP patch. Last week has seen 3 Sedge and 7 Willow Warblers, a brief Redshank, Sand and House Martins and Swallows trickling through, but the sunny weather not conducive for obvious arrivals. Good for butterflies though....

Fairly typical view of Water Rail at #LMGP this morning. Also a record shot of yesterday's first for year Oystercatcher

This Curlew dropped in to #LMGP for 10 minutes yesterday afternoon after the torrential storm. Don't see that many here and usually fly overs. Today I found an elusive Black Redstart over the road at Emmett's, a patch tick for me and sadly failed to get a photo

Two Med Gulls in the #LMGP roost today, a 1st Winter seen and photographed by others before departing, and this 2nd Winter

Whilst at the celebratory meetings yesterday, I had a little browse through the Thames water interactive sewage site The nearest outflow hadn’t released for two weeksBut a quick scan gives you a sense of quite how much work there is to be done…@RiverActionUK
