Edderthorpe late evening

Inspired by todays tern movement I decided to see if there was any change here from this morning and rather suprisingly there isn't- still the Flash is looking rather devoid of birds compared to the previous few weeks. Shelduck up to 4, Avocet up to 6 and Tufted up to 51 (from 14) were the few improvments from this morning, none are suprising including the Tufteds which are presumably birds off the river which with all this rain is getting worrying close to the top of the flood bank. A nice White Wagtail is also new in.

Another comment relating to the obvious lack of birds at Edderthorpe during your daily morning visits.
A question for you - as the most regular and prominent birder watching Edderthorpe; have you actually thought about or care about what is causing this down turn in bird numbers at Edderthorpe?
And if so, what have you done about it?
