Edderthorpe, March, wildfowl count day

Sunday 24th March
Highlights from todays WeBS counts at Edderthorpe Flash & Houghton Washlands-
Shelduck 9, Mallard 158, Pintail 1, Shoveler 90, Wigeon 80, Teal 33, Gadwall 120, Pochard 22, Goosander 3, Smew 1 redhead, Lapwing 52, Redshank 10, Oystercatcher 2, Water Rail 2, Little Egret 5, a Red Kite slowly headed north at 09.00 as did a single Sand Martin.

Cudworth Common held- Lapwing 33, Ringed Plover 2. The construction work currently happening at the Symphony factory is clearly having a negative impact on breeding waders there.
