Another morning of icy cold winds with a SE>5 at 2 degrees but bright skies.
Nothing moving in the sky due to the cold winds and just the usual on the water.
Down by the feeding station the pair of Stonechat were active along with 5 Wheatear and 4 more Wheatear by the boat yard looking like an overnight fall. This was confirmed by HC with a phone call reporting a minimum of 16 all together in a field on Trough Lane, Oxenhope. Howard said that all looked quiet but then as the sun broke through the birds started appearing.
A scan around the shorelines produced 2 Oystercatcher 2 Redshank and a single Snipe with no signs of early Common Sandpiper although my earliest up there has been 16th April, closely followed by Ringed Plover and then Dunlin in early May.
