Thursday was fairly quiet apart from a brief sighting of a sensitive breeder and 5 LBBG on the lookout for eggs and chicks. A Lapwing gave one of them short shrift.
Today: 1 Common Sandpiper, pr Oystercatcher, 4 Lapwing, 5/6 Curlew.
3 Tufted Duck, 7 Greylag, c40 Canada. A pr Stock Dove are my first for quite some time.
I found evidence of predation again. A Mallard 🦆 egg broken with blood n stuff showing and a pair of legs and a breastbone that looked like medium wader remnants 🤔.
3 WW, 5/6 Swallow, pr Linnet, pr Grey Partridge and strange noises coming from reeds that I cannot identify for the second time running.
5 times on the trot nothing on Mixenden Res. 😫
