A lively morning at Leeshaw with nothing out of the ordinary but plenty to watch through out.
Small amounts of shoreline starting to show just enough to attract Common Sandpipers, Redshank, Snipe and Oystercatchers though the north banking is still out of photographic range even at 600 mm.
Plenty breeding activity with Greylags and Canadas with several young and Lapwing chicks in the fields closely watched by LBB gulls.
Plenty House Martins and Swallows over the water but I,ve yet to see a Sand Martin this year.
