5th June

Returned to Shroggs Road to try for the Wood Warbler again. Singing on arrival and showing well but very difficult to get a good photo.

Moved on to Cold Edge and had the first young Meadow Pipits of the year.



Water level still nice and low, 3 Dunlin, 2 Common Sands, Curlew, Lapwing. 4 male Reed Buntings, 1 carrying food, 1 carrying nest material and the other 2 singing. Also a Goosander present.
