the jet wash going, Canadas are using it now.
The first visit of March late afternoon in murky but birdable conditions with a light S>3. Plenty activity giving a good start to the month though everything today was very distant.
Most of the action was way across in the NE corner with a SEO quartering the fields as well as 65 Lapwing along the shoreline whilst the unusual sight of a single Heron on the east banking meant that frogs are coming in to spawn as this is the only time I get Herons on the moor. A couple I met up there told me there is already plenty frog spawn at Cold Edge Dams, lets hope it doesnt freeze.
Scanning over the west moor a Buzzard flew low over the heather whilst a Merlin perched on a shooting butt briefly before skimming off across the moor.
Back at the south shore sky watching, as best I could in the conditions, 8 Golden Plover flew over towards the flat moor and 2 Oystercatchers came in to land on the floating jetty.
Not a bad start to the month and with rain and strong winds forecast for the weekend we should get some newcomers.
