Anglers CP: Day 5 for the drake Garganey. 2 Little Egret flew SE at 08.30hrs - 1st for the year. There was an amazing number of Sand Martin in the area, 450 + 200 WRes. They were probably held up by the cold and wet weather. There were 8m + 1f Yellow Wagtail + 1m WRes.. Tufted Duck 91 + 14 WRes. Shoveler 1m + 1 f, Teal 1m, Snipe 1 Cormorant 1, Little Grebe 1 and Black-headed Gull 195.
Wintersett Res: A Cuckoo was singing by the boathouse,and shortly after, at Botany. There was also a newly fledged Pied Wagtail and a juvenile Swallow at the boathouse. A handful of Lesser Whitethroat were singing 4 + 1 ACP, Sedge Warbler 5, WILLOW TIT 1 and Common Tern 12.
