4th May 2017

Out surveying locally this morning in lovely conditions. The highlight was finding 2 little-ringed plover nests, my first sedge warbler of the year and lapwings with young chicks.

Later in the day, Greg found a wood sandpiper on Budworth Mere which I called in to see on the way home. Bit of a distant speck, but a wood sand nonetheless!

The east wind continues to blow and no doubt there will be more birds locally and nationally in the coming days. Isn't spring brilliant!!
