Saturday 24th March a.m.
It was good to get out this morning with some dry weather although cloudy skies with a temperature of 4°C.The sound of the birds at Leeshaw is the first thing you notice with Geese calling,
Curlew and
Oystercatchers joining in, the
Lapwings displaying and the return of a pair of
Redshanks making their distinctive piping.Plenty to see with a count of nine Oystercatchers, four
Cormorant and a couple of
LBB Gulls,Moorhen,Grey and
Pied Wagtails,Pheasants,Mipits,Starlings and
Woodpigeons. Nearby in their usual field were 35
Golden Plover, I also spotted a
Reed Bunting and a
Snipe.
