Stockers Lake

During a late afternoon visit I discovered two Common Sandpiper at rest on the tern raft from the Tern Hide. Later one of the birds left the raft and began to feed on the floating algae that has appeared in that area of the lake. Other species worth a mention included a Common Kingfisher that flashed by briefly, two Little Egret at the heronry and a pair of Eurasian Oystercatcher noted feeding a juvenile on a very small island.
