Another hot day with a little breeze so I set off for a cool down on the water.
A couple of Avocets were seen earlier so I hoped they were on Swan Island spit with the masses of Mute Swans.
No Avocets unfortunately but I did get a Kittiwake just off the spit on the north side, with the only other bird of note being a Dunlin up the east end on the vegetation by the reed bed.
Common Terns kept me interested through the cruise, as did a number of dragonflies, but it was difficult to get a positive id as I was unable to follow their flight path. Only certainty was an Emperor.
