The alert, ever watchful adult keeping an eye on the inquisitive youngster - dried stems might just be a source of ants.....
A distant lone Dunlin was the only 'new' wader, at least a Common Sandpiper was within range.....
A large flock of Goldfinch (20+) were ever present but mobile - feasing on thistle seeds.
Lots of young birds too, including Tree Sparrow and Pied Wagtail.
