Tuesday 17th May a.m.
A cloudy start at Leeshaw with the sun breaking through later in the morning, the temperature was 9°C.I parked the car up in my usual spot and as I got out a
Cuckoo was calling this continued throughout the visit, I could tell where it was from and just got one distant glimpse of the bird.On the water were a few
Canadas and a couple of
Mallards, House Martins were having a close look at the tower and
Swallows were flying low over the water.
Curlews moved around as did
Lapwings, some were in the surrounding fields where it was good to see a couple of chicks.
Oystercatchers were also moving around and a couple of
Redshanks flew past, one landing briefly under the dam wall at the waters edge.There was an appearance from a
Grey Wagtail and a couple of
Pied Wagtails,the
Little Owl was in its usual area although a bit closer than normal.I saw
Linnets just above the stream the males red breasts showing well in their breeding plumage, a good morning but back to work tomorrow so birding will have to wait until the weekend with Danny.N.P.
