Edderthorpe, May Day Monday

Spent all morning around the Flash hoping you-know-what might pay a visit (and mapping breeding birds), before heading to Wombwell Ings late morning to see the refered to Glossy Ibis again. And whilst watching the ibis it decided to leave at about 12.30 flying high to the north and probably directly over Edderthorpe (it would certainly have been viewable from there had anyone been there to see it). Alas there was no sign at Edderthorpe when I got back there about 15 minutes later, presumably it carried on heading northwards to make the day of the next lucky person who discovers it. Highlights from Edderthorpe include;- a cracking drake Garganey showing well, Shelduck 2, Oystercatcher 1, Ringed Plover 3, LRP 2, Swift 90, Willow Tit- a pair, Sedge Warbler 2 singing males.
