Contrasting days

This morning was so quiet compared to yesterday, just the Cuckoo calling again in the tall willows behind Teal Scrape and a small group of Swallow heading West was all worth noting.

I have looked at past wader records for end of April and May and provided total number of records per month, based on frequency order

Dunlin : 13 April records, 19 May
Curlew : 9 April records, 3 May
Greenshank : 7 April  records, 13 May
Whimbrel : 4 April records, 5 May
Grey Plover : 2 April records, 3 May
Black-tailed Godwit : 1 April record
Turnstone : 1 April record, 4 May
Ruff : 3 May records
Sanderling : 4 May records
Temminck's Stint : 2 May records

Make what you like of this information.

Early lunch visit got me Sedge Warbler finally, at the back of Tern Scrape, also Reed Warbler there and mating Oystercatcher.
