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.
