1 superb Whinchat behind the sailing club hut this evening
7 species of wader in the area including Snipe 'drumming'
No sign of the Grasshopper Warbler
Only one pair of breeding Lapwings along the route from Withens to Wainstalls! It's only a year or two since c14 pairs bred in this area. Evidence of a serious decline? Has anyone else noticed a similar pattern locally?

I thought Willow warblers had returned in good numbers this year!
Must be me, JB also thinks there are plenty about!
