Almost Springlike




Managed a couple of hours along the Tame Valley today in conditions that were almost springlike, and if a comment like that don't bring 3 foot of snow and temperatures into the minus's, nothing will.
A quick scan at Middleton lake saw nothing but the normal Teal and Shoveler however the highland cattle were close enough for a quick photo.
On to Broomey croft where the numbers of duck has dropped even more than last week with single figures of Shovler on Canal Pool, where there was three figures a couple of weeks ago.
Two Shelduck were new arrivals on cliff pool with Redshank present and Greensandpiper also reported.Two Buzzards were also enjoying the sunshine and the thermals over Cliff Pool.
