Birds on Cudworth Common...
Apologies for going on about birds on a 'Birding blog' but Cudworth Common has excelled for breeding waders this spring/summer and is a very important site in Barnsley for thse species;-
Lapwing -a minimum of 20 pairs hatched young. Redshank -at least 5 broods of young. Ringed Plover -at least 6 pairs with 5 broods hatched to date. Little Ringed Plover -3 broods hatched to date. And though many of us are fed up with the almost constant wet weather, this combined with the highish temperatures seem ideal for the waders to raise young. Every cloud etc. See, far more to look at on the Common than insects and weeds!

What a very narrow minded Nerdy attitude...really sad...
Plenty of room on the blog for non bird records, it's not gonna fill up. We seem to have this every year, but I'm happy to hear about other stuff.
Seems my attempt at humour has gone down like Spain in an opening World Cup match in some quarters. Apologies to anyone offended or annoyed, the post was not meant to irritate but to highlight the importance of the area for breeding waders which it undoubtably is.
And a request please;- could anyone posting photo's please label what they are so the less knowledgeable amongst us have an idea what we are looking at.
Thank You.
The written word is not a good format for humour!!! We need emoticons.
