Wintersett 05.06.14

14°C,  warm and dry with a moderate westerly.
Anglers CP: A Black tailed Godwit was on the shallows today.  Common Tern 12,  Sand Martin 1,  Oystercatcher 4 adults + 3young.  Mute Swan  cygnets 6 +1 CHRes.,  Mallard young 2vs and 5vs WRes.
Haw Park Wood:  Goldcrest 1m and 63 Speckled Wood Butterflies.
Tree Sparrows: 3 pairs are breeding in  Cold Hiendley village.  A check on boxes at Anglers CP this afternoon revealed that virtually all pairs are having 2nd broods, which are large and healthy.  So this year productivity is excellent.
Thanks to Lynz Harston for these great flight shots from ACP this morning,
