Flints

Snipe drumming over the former reservoir yesterday evening. Still there on return leg 2 hours later. I have been told that they do frequent the area but first I have seen up there in 4 years.

Golden Plover on same area, they seemed to be moving between Flints & Crow Hill and back.

I went specifically to see if the Wheatears over towards Crow Hill (above Nook Farm) had stayed, again not seen them in this area over previous years until 3 weeks ago when there were12+. Managed to find 2.

Lapwings in abundance but no sign of any young.

Also seen:

Curlew
Mipits
Red Grouse
Swallows in abundance, no Swift yet
