Grey Wagtail, Grey Heron, Sand Martins

Somewhat duller this morning than yesterday, but presumably the same Grey Heron was again on the overflow boom.  Nearby a young Grey Wagtail lingered on the stones for just a few seconds, and there were a number of Sand Martins feeding low over the water, always difficult to photograph, especially in dull conditions.
