Curlews checking the place out

Oystercatchers back on the moor

Nothing on the water other than Canadas which are now up to a count of around 80.
Oysercatchers are back with 2 by the water and 2 in the field along with 4 Curlew which seemed to be sussing the place out.
No Redshank back yet and a good scan around Withens Gap failed to produce any Wheatear.
