Langfield and Gaddings Dam

Went to Langfield looking for Stonechat this morning. There were none, but I did come across a pair of adult Wheatears with 2 fledglings.













At Gaddings there were a few waders, not as many as Cold Edge of course, but 2 Redshanks, 3 Dunlin and 2 Common Sandpipers were a treat in the wind and rain. Also 9 Swifts over the dam and a pair of Mallards with 3 large ducklings.
On the way home I stopped off at Lee Dam to see if the 2 Little Grebes are still there, and they are.

Good stuff with the Wheatears Jeff - all the ones up this end seem to have moved on nad none stayed to breed.
