A decent morning at Leeshaw after an early drizzle shower which soon moved over leaving clear but cloudy skies on a light W>3 at 9 degrees. Some sunshine near the end of the watch.
As always at this site there was plenty to see though nothing to get the adrenalin flowing with very little exposed shore.
Scores of Lapwings, the majority being this years newly fledged juvs, whilst there are still plenty Curlew in the area along with 6 Oystercatchers and 2 Redshank.
The sky was alive with Swallows, Swifts, House Martins and Sand Martins but otherwise nothing else moving overhead. A good flock of around 30 Linnets was mobile and 2 Pied and Grey Wagtail were along the dam wall.
Gull numbers are slowly starting to build with 11 LBB, 4 Black Headed and a Herring gull passing through but no sign of the recent Barnacle geese among the huge count of Greylags and Canadas.
Otherwise, it was down to the usual species.
A dry and cloudy forecast for tomorrow with rain by the afternoon on a light north westerly.
