Saturday 29th July a.m.
A bright morning with a temperature of 13°C as I arrived at Leeshaw a strong wind was blowing.A good count of eight
Oystercatchers and c100
Starlings were in the field above the track.A quiet visit with other birds seen
Little Owl,Lapwing,Mallard,Rook,Mipit,Cormorant and
LBB Gull.
I moved on to Leeming Reservoir where the water was low exposing plenty of shoreline, just two
Tufted Ducks on the water but a couple of
Common Sandpipers in the mud kept the interest going. Walking round there were eight
Willow Warblers counted along with
Pied and
Grey Wagtail, LBB Gull,House Martin and
Swallow.

Nice one with the Common Sand pic Nigel.
ReplyDeleteOn my last 2 visits to Leeming the Common Sands have flushed right in front of me and disappeared!
Were they at the south end?
Mine were at the north end.

Not so good with my North & South John,they were the top end, or small pond end out on the mud.
