Tuesday 4th May 2010 - Afternoon

Broken cloud, 10C

Greeted by a Red Kite gliding over the farm building then off down the valley heading east. Not an uncommon site now but still a welcome one.

Two Common terns passed through, lingering for a while but water levels still low. At least this is leaving plenty of mud which a group of Housemartins were taking full advantage of for nesting elsewhere. Also out on the mud briefly a single Meadow Pipit was somewhat of a surprise. Wader wise just the usual Little Ringed Plover joined by a couple of Little Egrets in the shallows of the Wader Pool. The Shelduck pair dozed on one of the few remaining gravel islands.
