Crapstone Edge and Whiteholme Res

This venue never seems to do it for me this year. Blackstone with water still almost up to the brim was as expected crap.
Whiteholme was somewhat better but not exactly an earth tremor. The island is just appearing and on it were two large gulls of 3/4 cycle appearance. They left immdly but I’m opting for LBBG.


Pr Stonechat 3 Pied Wagtail a pair of which were visiting a nest hole.
A Dullard pr had 10 young uns in tow. A pr Greylag had 3 Gosling with them.



A pr Common Sandpiper are breeding judging by their ADHD behaviour. It took me sometime to get these two mediocre photos.



Also 2 Skylark a Goldfinch c20 Meadow Pipit 1 Crow. No sign whatsoever of a bird resembling yesterdays Water Pipit.
