Warm but windy, just managed to hang on to my teeth. Pockets of avian activity punctuated by spells of zilch.
Shelf Moor: 1 Lapwing, couple Linnet, 1 Mistle Thrush ditto Swallow, 4 Swift.
Horton Bank CP: busy with people but no problems as common sense kicked in. I carefully avoided getting too close to the boxers; I remember vividly the day I got beat up by a punchbag 😵.
A Sedge Warbler was quite noisy in the very same place I got one here on May 31 last year.
3 LBBG were present most of the stay while 3 Herring Gull dropped in for a shorter spell. Also one adult BHG seen.
3 juvenile Coot were seen along with 4 adult birds.
A pr Canada were sailing along with just one large chick in tow. A single Mute Swan kept to the background.
2 each Swallow & Swift flew over. Others: 1 Moorhen, pr Bullfinch, 3/4 LTT, singles Jay & Mistle Thrush, 3 Blackbird. I'm sure the wind was responsible for keeping any woodland migrants quiet. However in Littlemoor Park on the way home a Blackcap & a Chiffchaff did pipe up for a short while.
