Wintersett 08.05.15

8°C with 4/8 cloud and a light south easterly.  Rain from 15.00hrs.
A 1st summer drake  Greater Scaup caused some confusion  at Anglers CP this morning before the adult drake Lesser Scaup was seen on Wintersett Res.   The Black-necked Grebe was still present (ACP) and these three birds attracted many visiting birders. A Whimbrel,on the boathouse slipway,  a Common Sandpiper,  a male Lesser Whitethroat and 2 Grey Heron were also around WRes.  3 Turnstone were brought in to Anglers CP by the rain this afternoon.   A drake Shoveler,  a drake Teal and 100 Swallow were also at ACP.
