Upper Valley upland pasture site.

5 Redshank, all apparently adult birds. No Lapwing at all now - I wonder if their absence has harmed the breeding efforts of the Redshank (as per Simon King at the London Wetlands Centre on last night's Springwatch)?
No Canada Geese - the first year since I've been birding that a pair hasn't bred here! I did see some deliberate disturbance taking place just before the breeding season - I suspect they've been "encouraged" to go elsewhere.
On a brighter note, Cuckoo heard calling to the N of the site - I think it's the first one I've heard near here.
