2 Common Sandpiper back at Cold Edge Dams
1 of 3 Oystercatchers
1600 hrs at Cold Edge Dams in a bright but breezy W>4 with some dark clouds.
The goose field just held 3 Canadas and 2 Redshank whilst 2 Greylag were near the mill pond.
The resident Little Grebe, now in full summer plumage, was on the Spring Dam along with a female Tufted duck whilst a female Stonechat was flitting about close by.
Common Sandpipers had returned to Leadbeater dam with 2 present along with 2 pr Mallard and a male Reed Bunting on the island. Otherwise it was down to Curlews, 4 LBB gulls, 1 Golden Plover and 3 Lapwing.
A check on Taylor Lane on the way home for JLs Ring Ouzel failed to re locate it.
Thanks for the call John.

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.
