While walking around Walshaw Dean yesterday I saw Sand Martins entering and leaving the outlet pipes in a concrete wall - I assume they are nesting there. I hadn't seen this before so checked with Nick C and apparently they have been at the same place for several years now. However, it was new to me so I enjoyed a good close view for a while before moving on.Also saw 84 Canada Geese (some with goslings); 8 Mallards, one female had 8 ducklings; 4 Oystercatchers; 9 lapwings; 11 Meadow Pipits; Willow Warbler (carrying food); Stonechat; 2 Reed Buntings; 7 Common Sandpipers; adult and 3 young Song Thrushes; Gray Wagtail and an adult Pied Wagtail with 2 young.
