Warm sunshine all day brought out hordes of people but not many birds.
Wintersett Res: Water Rail 1,  Common Tern 1,  Greylag Goose 2,  Grasshopper Warbler 1,  Lesser Redpoll 3 and Yellow Wagtail 1 + 1 ACP Pol.  In the wider area - Lesser Whitethroat  4 singing males + 1 alarming. 
Moorhouse Lane Ponds: Common Sandpiper 1 and Mallard with 5 small ducklings.
Anglers CP:   A Rook in the fields had 2 grey secondaries in each wing.  Goldeneye 1 female,  Oystercatcher 2 pairs + 3 flew in from WRes and then left north.  The drake LESSER  SCAUP  is still attracting visitors.
Thanks to Mark Hartley for sharing these photos from Friday 3rd May
