Wintersett 04.05.13

Sunny spells but a westerly wind held down the temperature.
Anglers CP: The drake Lesser Scaup is still frustrating the photographers - diving frequently in the middle of the choppy lake.  A 1st Summer Peregrine  and a Dunlin flew over.   The 3rdW Yellow-legged Gull and the 3rdW  Lesser Black-backed Gull are stealing eggs from the Canada Geese.   There is also a Redshank and a female Goldeneye, with an imperfect wing,  left behind by the rest of the flock.
Wintersett Res: A  Yellow Wagtail was in the ruin field and 1 flew north.
