In search of red & green



Flying visits along the Tame valley today looking for Greensandpipers and Redshank with no success.
Started at Debbie's day boatyard where 2 Greensandpipers had been reported on the flooded fields, then onto Middleton's main lake where there were 3 Shelduck.
Straight to Kingsbury Water Park after this, where the water level is slowly receding, But that hasn't managed to attract any Redshank.
Along the path to the hides there was a nice Oyster (Pleurotus) mushroom.With the way the gill are branching I'd say it was Cornucopiae, but I'm no expert.
Also nice to see our old friend JW coming into his breeding plumage a bit before the other cormorants.
