The problem with photos at Leeshaw are, they are all very distant and out of range.
A visit to Leeshaw Reservoir late afternoon to check the gull situation in the hope of Yellow Legged or Terns which neither happened.
Gulls were livelier than expected with a steady flow throughout the 90 minutes I was there, some landing briefly on the water, others going straight through all >N.
The 2 long staying Little Ringed Plovers were both on the shoreline along with a Ringed Plover and 3 Kestrel.
Common Sandpiper and 1 Redshank were still present but the Oystercatchers seemed to have moved on

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
