01/05/17 - Birdlog



A *GREENSHANK* was the undoubted highlight of the afternoon session at Weaver Dairy House Farm, the bird was present throughout the time I was there and was still feeding when I left. The scrapes also held a single Little Ringed Plover, 3 Lapwing and 2 Shelduck.

The mere was relatively quiet, however it was nice to see 4 Common Tern present over the water, hopefully the species will attempt to breed again this year.

Sedge Warbler on left hand side of the car-park' several Reed Warbler in the reedbeds. A Common Sandpiper on the logs in the mud. Noticed a Tern flying on the yacht club side so drove round. In total there were 5 birds but all looked like Common Tern with black tips to the bill, but could be wrong. Also a single Greenshank on the pool by the farm.

Finally got the Lesser Whitethroat off Grange Lane.

A WHINCHAT was present this evening.
