23 May 2024 Spinnaker south bank and Ellingham Lake circuit. 08.45 to 10.30

A pair of Tufted Duck and a female Oystercatcher present on Spinnaker small island. No sign of Oystercatcher hatchlings, with 'mum' wandering around aimlessly. No sign of mate except that another OC flew in calling from the north as I was leaving the site. Nothing to report from Ellingham Lake. Plenty of teneral damselflies around but I fancy not as many as last year. No sign/sound of Little Grebes. I have attached a couple of shots of the willow hut.
