Box End Park WeBS: 19/08/2012

Made the most of the cool early morning to get in my WeBS count. Nothing particularly exciting although it was nice to see the 2 Kingfishers flying around the south lake. There were also 2 Common Sandpipers along the west side of the north lake. They finally have a bit of shoreline to work with now the water levels have finally returned to normal levels.
