I had some better luck on 22 August.

A peacock was displaying beautifully, it's a pity there wasn't a better background.

Some black and whites - Pied Avocets and Blackwinged Stilts.

A fire had been through the reserve and it was looking a little sorry for itself. The last of the wooden hides has been destroyed.

The Whitethroated Swallows are back and were also getting frisky.

An unlucky frog was brunch for a Greyheaded Gull.
Image

Grey Heron.
Image

And some waders that I haven't identified.
