Two Sand Martins over Tangmere Airfield lagoon this morning and now I hear of more and two Swallows at Ivy Lake! It's all go now!

At Lidsey SF, plenty of Pied Wagtails on the pans and Chiffchaffs in the hedge and not a lot else but over at Sack Lane by the railway crossing were the four-strong Whooper Swan family looking well:



Whooper Swans:














In the picture of the four Swans together some speckling on the neck appears to show on birds 1, 2 and 4 suggesting that these are the the youngsters, presumably coming up to being 2W birds. I would think they'll all be off to pastures new shortly.
