Much more activity this morning and a couple of surprises with a single Wheatear and the Ringed Plover breeding pair turning up after I thought they must have gone. Also a single Redshank showed up which this species also being absent the last couple of visits.
A Heron was on the west bank along with 4 Common Sandpipers, feeding between the cobbles. More big gulls are starting to show up with the adults probably being non breeders whilst todays LBBs were mostly 2 cy birds which will soon be going into their 3rd cy. Just 2 of todays gulls were adults with the others being 2 cy.
Nothing in the fields on the way home today but 2 Swallow were over Bradshaw near the old brewery at the bottom of the 'Bonnet'.
Looking dry for morning but a strong north westerly that may bring me some Arctic Terns over from Lancashire.
