No prizes for cracking the code in the title!
Spent most of this morning at North pit where there are signs of the wader passage starting.
2 Ringed Plover, 2 Little Ringed Plover, 2 Green Sandpiper and 5 Redshank were present along with over 20 Shelduck including the hybrid, which has apparently returned for it's sixteenth year.
Also saw my first 2 Butterflies of the year, they were a new looking Brimstone and a very worn Small tortoiseshell.
From there I went for an hour at Broomey croft where there was no sign of any waders and all talk was about the moving of the inflatable scarecrow from one island to the other!
Finally, rugger Dave slid a photo of an Avocet in front of me that he saw on Tuesday, wonder how he knows that this is my bogey bird for the Tame Valley?
