Saturday 28th May
A Wood Sandpiper was at Stoneybeck Lake until 08:20 when it flew off south, Castle Lake held a similar selection of birds from the previous day including 6 Ringed Plover, 7sp Dunlin, 1 Common Sandpiper, 4 Grey Heron and 5 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Two views of this morning's Wood Sandpiper at Stoneybeck Lake;
Strange about the swans, a couple of our local pairs only have 2 cygnets.
