A site meeting on the Rudheath limebeds today produced a surprise patch tick - Green Woodpecker. As I understand it a rare bird (Paul has seen one before). Two young Peregrines were still zapping around. That aside it was all work, but great to be designing new wetlands and hopefully this will soon be a breeding wader bonanza.
However on the way back to the office I called in to the yacht club at Budworth Mere to see the eight Black Terns which had been present since early morning, with a single Common Tern also amongst the multitude of hirundines. An adult and a juvenile Yellow Wagtail were on the pontoons amongst several Pied Wagtails, and a brood of 7 Tufted Ducks were nice to see.
Then back to the office.
