Just before we get to Kirkby, 5 Swifts over Swanholme Lakes this morning were my first for nearly a fortnight and perhaps hinted at a more general arrival? Kirkby Pits Highlight amongst 7 species of wader present was a.......... Wood Sandpiper - 1 showing well on the reserve pit late afternoon. Also of note.... Dunlin - 1 sum plu bird also on the above pit Other selected sightings included: Common Tern - 17 Wigeon - 2 Teal - 1 Several Gadwall and Pochard pairs Reed Warbler - 2 Sand Martin - c.40 Buzzard - 1 Kirkby Moor area A different call suddenly alerted to........... Hobby - 2 birds went dashing past at high speed before being lost to view over distant farmland. Matthew |
