Cold Edge

I did my BBS (Breeding Bird Survey) for the BTO this morningand results are still to evaluate. Despite the strong E NE wind there were plenty of mipits/Skylarks/Swallows and Linnets about plus a smattering of Wheatears and Reed Buntings and the usual wader sp.

A Whimbrel went over NE at 10.40 calling several times. Unfortunately it did not drop in but went straight over.

5 Golden Plover were about in the fields opposite Nolstar Kennels along Cold Edge Road - they have been there on and off the last few days but no northern forms have been seen there yet.

Good one on the Whimbrel Dave, makes life easier if they,re good enough to call.
Will try for your Teal tomorrow (sunday)
