Swillington Ings

Sunday 20th April a.m.

A cloudy chilly morning at 7°C as I walked round the Reedbeds at Swillington Ings with plenty birds to hear & See.  Bitterns were booming, Cetti's Warblers were very vocal and as usual elusive and also good to see returning Common Terns.  There were good numbers of Black-necked Grebes, Gt Crested Grebes and a couple of Little Grebes.  Some of the other birds seen were Gadwall, Shelduck, Shoveler, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Lapwing, Pochard, Canada with goslings, Swallow & Reed Bunting.
