By 07.50hrs another Whooper Swan had joined the other one on the wader scrape and both were still present to at least mid-day (K. Bannister et al).
A male Cuckoo sang and the hepatic bird was also seen (Tony Harding). 9 Lapwings were on arable land nearby and hopefully nesting. A Painted Lady beat the earliest ever date by 20 days! (JP).
Kylie if you see this, yes you can put a purple rubbish bag at the entrance on the fence for the public to use.
