At 5.45pm a Buzzard drifted slowly SE over the SECC, it was being harassed by the local Lesser Black-backed Gulls and Carrion Crows. This is only the 2nd record for the site.
It was brought to my attention when I started work at 4.30pm today that a pair of Mallards were sitting near the VIP doors, this is not that unusual, at this time of year the birds are looking for nest sites and they sometimes turn up at unexpected places. The birds are fine and are perfectly healthy.
