A Mallard was found with 7 eggs but no sign of the duck. Another female was on the wader scrape with 10 small young.

A Little Ringed Plover was on the wader scrape in the evening (Andy Morgan).

Insects included 2 Burnet Companion and a Cinnabar moth and 4 Thick-legged Beetles.

A Fox was on the prowl and spring flowers included Southern Marsh Orchid and Kidney Vetch (Chris Parkin).

A Red Kite circled over Field Drive in Low Cudworth from 09.00hrs until 09.35hrs (Richard Laverack).
