May nearly out and not a wader for Soil Hill even though the remaining scrapes are holding water.
This time last year we were lapping up Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover and Golden Plover on the hill but this year nothing has materialized .
The nearby Raggalds flood continues to pull in the waders and hopefully July will produce Greenshank or even the now rare Green Sandpiper as long as the water level holds up.
An after work visit to the flood this evening found dense fog with nil visibility towards the water. Hopefully when the fog lifts it will have brought something exciting down.
At work today customers Christine and Reg told me of a Carrion Crow at their local golf course that lands on one of the golfers shoulders whilst he empties a bag of food out for it. Apparently this has been going on a couple of years now, you,ll have to try get me a photo of this for the blog Christine.
