Saturday 25th March a.m.
A frosty morning with a temperature of 4°C but with bright sunshine for a change there was a real feeling of spring in the air.I started off at Paul Clough looking for Wheatear but didn't see any, there was a distant
Red-legged Partridge, a couple of
Snipe flew past as well as seeing
Lapwing,Curlew and
Meadow Pipits.
On arrival at Leeshaw there was the usual
Canadas and
Greylags and good numbers of displaying Lapwings in the surrounding fields.It was good to see a couple of
Redshanks fly past and I counted six
Oystercatchers.A
Mistle Thrush was singing high in a tree and there was a couple of distant
Pied Wagtails and Curlew.
I then moved the short distance to the
Golden Plover field where I got a count of 120 birds with Lapwing,Mipit,Pied Wagtail and a
Reed Bunting also present.
