I check this site just occasionally. Not quite like it used to be since the sludge lagoons were left to the willows ! We just checked the filter-beds from the canal side towpath today. It's often good for migrant hirundines and Swifts later in the year given the insects emerging from the site, canal and river though a few Sand Martins have been reported from Fairburn Ings and Swillington St Aidan's the last few days so always worth a check !!
Probably just short of 40 Pied Wagtails on the beds this afternoon and 1 Grey Wagtail with 40+ Carrion Crows. Goldcrest, tit species and a Nuthatch calling in the nearby woodland.
