The good weather has seen most migrating birds pass straight over the Tame valley.
On Cliff pool there was a Green Sandpiper, no excuses for the photo as it was at very long range, along with a single Common sandpiper.
I also tried to get a better photo of the Grasshopper Warbler and sat for over an hour being eaten by midges for the bird to only show briefly and then only from the front.
The weather helped, as did the amount of butterflies being seen with Small tortoiseshell, Brimstone,Orangetip,Peacock and Comma all making an appearance.
Birds are passing through so I really think its time for a good bird, wasn't it about this time last year we had the Cattle Egret at Middleton?
